El Salvador offers to jail US convicts in unprecedented proposal

ai generated text

El Salvador has agreed to accept deportees from the United States, including criminals of any nationality, as stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. This decision was made following a meeting between Rubio and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. According to Rubio, the US is "incredibly grateful" for the offer. Additionally, Bukele has proposed imprisoning convicted American criminals in El Salvador's largest prison in exchange for payment. The US is expected to face legal scrutiny for any attempt to deport migrants under this agreement.

    Nayib Bukele
    1. I think it's much bigger and of greater scope than the agreement we did in 2019.
    2. We are willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted U.S. citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee. The fee would be relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable.

    1. Overcrowding constitutes a serious threat to prisoners' health and lives.

    Marco Rubio

    1. He has offered to house in his jails dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those with US citizenship and legal residency. No country's ever made an offer of friendship such as this. We are profoundly grateful.
    2. In an act of extraordinary friendship to our country … (El Salvador) has agreed to the most unprecedented and extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world.
    3. Any unlawful immigrant and illegal immigrant in the United States who is a dangerous criminal -- MS-13, Tren de Aragua, whatever it may be -- he has offered his jails.

    1. It's not rooted in any sort of legal provision and likely violates a number of international laws relating to the rights of migrants.
    2. It is a bizarre and unprecedented proposal being made potentially between two authoritarian, populist, right wing leaders seeking a transactional relationship.

    1. The US is absolutely prohibited from deporting US citizens, whether they are incarcerated or not.
