U.S. Explores Sending Violent Convicts Abroad

President Donald Trump is exploring the possibility of sending American convicts, particularly violent offenders, to foreign prisons as part of an unusual offer from El Salvador. During a press briefing, Trump stated that numerous countries have shown interest in accepting U.S. criminals for a small fee, claiming it could be a cost-effective solution. Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged the legal complexities involved but described El Salvador's offer as 'very generous.' Trump emphasized that he would pursue this option 'in a heartbeat' if legally feasible, but he is currently assessing the legality of such actions. This proposal comes amid broader discussions on immigration and security challenges faced by Central American countries. The administration is expected to review these international prisoner placement offers before any decisions are made.
