Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed gratitude for El Salvador President Nayib Bukele's unprecedented offer to house U.S. criminals, including citizens and legal residents, in Salvadoran prisons. While this controversial proposal drew legal scrutiny, Trump stated he would support it if constitutional. Rubio praised Bukele's offer as an extraordinary gesture, emphasizing potential cost savings in dealing with violent offenders. However, legal experts argue that the idea may contradict U.S. constitutional rights, and Rubio clarified there are no current plans to deport U.S. citizens.
The U.S. is 'just profoundly grateful', Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, for El Salvador President Nayib Bukele's offer to incarcerate criminals being held in American prisons.
'No country has ever made an offer of friendship such as this,' Rubio stated regarding Bukele's willingness to accept dangerous criminals from the U.S.
Experts, however, are adamant it is unconstitutional. Secretary Rubio emphasized that no plan for deporting U.S. citizens is in motion at this time.
'I'm just saying if we had the legal right to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat,' President Trump stated about El Salvador's offer.
