El Salvador to accept US deportees of any nationality, including imprisoned Americans, in unprecedented deal, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says
El Salvador to accept US deportees of any nationality, including imprisoned Americans, in unprecedented deal, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says
Every single Democrat in the house needs to be screaming fascism ALL day in front of the news so Americans and really the world sees they are fighting for us. We must show our numbers !!! Scream constitutional crisis! Please SIGN and SHARE! We need to organize ! sign.moveon.org/petitions/co...
Why do we have to deal with the "criminals" from other countries... why??? why??? every country has to take responsibility of their own! wtf! ... our country is small and we are trying to survive and this is not going to end good.
This is the most! stupid idea ever ... wtf! what the actual fuck!
Human trafficking comes to mind.
I know one US born citizen and convicted felon that can be deported - Donald Trump. Americans could crowd fund Trump’s deportation to El Salvador. How much does Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele want to do this?
First question should be "WHY?" Second question should be "WHY?" Sure this isn't even legal from a human rights perspective. Sounds like slavery on the move.
LOL yeah... well, that tracks. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...
Thanks, but no thanks to Sec. Marco Rubio, who is proving that although he might have the necessary qualifications to have been been named as Trump’s Secretary of State, his moral compass must have been mislaid on one of his many recent visits to the WH.
How do you have no fucking backbone to call out how terrible all of this is?
How can you deport US Citizens and republicans not get upset over this? I guess you can't say racism.
I am very confused.
Total melt down of humanity.
Why does the word “Rendition” come to mind here? It sounds to me like they’re laying groundwork to send US citizens, locked up for flimsy charges as targets of MAGA, to another country where they can disappear them.
Pisses me off they’re describing it as “unprecedented” when what they mean is “totally illegal”!
America is really turning into a cesspit of humanity. No longer a world power or ally. A laughing stock and unreliable ally now populated by uneducated retards... Led by liars thieves criminals and conmen. No wonder the world hates the US now.
Sending American Prisoners to El Salvador is so evil.
It sounds sooooo illegal!
It means undocumented immigrants, regardless if they have or not have any criminal records.
See Rwanda
Narco Rubio is a drug dealing Nazi scumbag terrorist lock him and his crime family up in Gitmo 🇺🇸
And again, why the hell are we allowing this? When are we going to DO something about Trump?? We have to stop him, now.
So when Trump is longer president, could this be an option for him while facing his own crimes?
Well sending/deporting imprisoned Americans to a foreign country certainly sounds legal to me..... ??
America doesn't send their best. Or was that Mexico? Anyway, what Trump said.
Can you grow a pair and call it for what it is? The US is outsourcing slavery to El Salvador.
😳😳😳
This is absurd. So just clean our hands of our own mess but sending them to some slave camp? What ever happened to American jobs. Those high paying prison guard jobs are great right?
I wonder if that includes people from the Middle Eastern and China. That would seem kind of odd. But if China and the Middle Eastern countries don’t want them then El Salvador will have to do as long as they get culturally appropriate food, medical care, dental, recreation & education benefits.
Outsourcing the concentracion camps
great human rights there then!
What a disgusting administration
IT IS ILLEGAL.
I’m exchange for a fee.Of course.
Is that even legal? Never mind the question of deporting a citizen, but then dumping them in another country without due process?
1.8% of their population is imprisoned. 1/50 ppl almost
Concentration camps subcontracting !
Extrajudicial concentration camps will lower your weekly bacon bill!!
There is something VERY WRONG IN THIS and this is NOT normal!
"something"? A civilized country doesn't exile its citizens, no matter what crimes they have committed.
USA ia sending their criminals there too? Is it the price for not sending troops? There is big sh$t in this “deal”.
@cnn.com times must be tough to post this garbage. Wake up.
illegal deal. because it is illegal to deport americans
Not in the era of Trump, El Salvador will house them for a fee in their Terrorism Confinement Center. You get what you vote for. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrori...
WE get what they voted for. Everyone saying that this is illegal, you are correct. Problem is, they don't care anymore. They are LITERALLY creating a new country before our eyes. They will produce the rewritten constitution at their choosing. Until then... American laws be damned is their attitude.
I remember this country from the 80s no one really changes
Then they will disappear I guess
Jesus. Imprisoned U.S. citizens may be sent to El Salvador? How odd. Isn’t that a death sentence? This feels like a perverse human trafficking thing. Not women/kids—but selling men? What does El Salvador get? What was the ART of THIS deal?
WINNING
Hold the front door. Why would a US citizen get sent to another country? Are we imposing the banishment penalty now? What crimes qualify for banishment to El Salvador? Who decides? So many questions from this mess.
It’s in the concept of the plan
This and Guantanemo is about jailing political prisoners away from the US, so no one knows what they're doing. We can't let them send anyone to these places!
So slave labor??? Got it!
Wonder how much money trump had to give them ?
This is disgusting!!! Trump is deporting US Citizens to countries they've never even been to before!! 😡😡😡
.
Hate to say it, but at least CNN is covering this. I'm not seeing a lot of other stories on it out there
What?
Wait, I'm sorry. What does "accept...imprisoned Americans" mean?
Imprisoning domestic political prisoners in a foreign country where their rights will not be respected and they can be silenced.
Buy slave labor.
Even better we pay them
They just keep hitting new lows. These MAGAs are truly evil people. We’re deporting American citizens now? They don’t see a problem with this?
Can we ship that prick Rubio over?
Why are you not reporting this as the international slave trade it is
Wonder how much money was promised.
This is part of a larger plan to eventually ship political prisoners and anyone else who disagrees with or obstructs the current shit show of an administration out of the country where they will eventually disappear.
Not alive, for me. I intent to stack at least a few bodies in my doorway. I owe the devil some souls.
I owe more than a few.
This is outrageous, what better way to silence your detractors than ship them off to the worst third world prison in the world
There's 1 guy we could send them who has 34 felonies and is a menace to innocent Americans
not what @nbcnews.com is reporting at all!
So he's giving the US AID to El Salvador ?
What’s the bet that all of the death row prisoners that Biden commuted will be sent there
Ah yes, El Salvador’s “zero leisure” prisoner plan for slave labor
Trump found his grifter
How can he dump out prisoners in El Salvador. This is how I see this move playing out. EL Salvador will make them drug dealers and worse. And guess they come back to? Because they are American Citizens. This is wrong many levels. He’s putting in all kinds of danger.
So the US govt is exporting slaves to El Salvador? Is that it @cnn.com
The horror!!!
Sorta like Britain's Rwanda plan, and just as evil.
No little Marco, you can’t ship US citizens to El Salvador to be imprisoned.
Concentration camps. These are Concentration camps.
Are you following the money involved in this illegal maneuver?
@anneapplebaum.bsky.social just posted this morning that you always have to keep your eye on the money. It is always a grift in authoritarian grabs.
Yup. This election was bought with money and is being run for the purpose of acquiring more money.
Might as well hand them over to Hamas
that sounds concerning!
WTF?!??
Um, you can’t just deport US citizens
We said the same thing about retroactive sex offender registries...and Republicans did that in the 90s. Now they are coming for others. Eventually you'll get your turn too. THIS is why you can't ignore shit for 30 yrs and let it fester...as we have.
But what did we have to give them for it? Probably a weapons deal. El Salvador gets something dangerous that it wants and the US gets…. What is it we’re getting out of this?
Our USAID money Musk stole
I’m going to have to call you naïve here. These two narcissist just need public adulation, that’s what fuels them. Or bribes personal enrichment. But something good for the country, no bleeping way.
Trump may be immune, but Rubio is not.
True and Rubio is as dumb as a rock.
This is how you cover the deportation of American citizens to a 3rd world foreign prison? Absolutely TRASH reporting from a TRASH outlet.
Gee! Just like when Hitler sent German citizens to die in foreign prisons. Arbeit Macht Frei, right?! Will they wear a green triangle too? Republicans approve of this.
( from the CNN article ) "It is unclear whether the US government will take up the offer, however, with questions around the legality of such moves." People are commenting on this article as if the US government has already signed the deal.
What in the actual fuck?
How much money are we paying them?
That’s where they will send peaceful protestors because they threatened to overthrow the government 💙
In exchange for how much $$$$??
Another bending the knee.
What could go wrong? Anyone else see Locked Up Abroad? What happened to Rubio's morals?
So, now there is a slave trade 🤔 great great. Ffs report what it actually is, Rollingstone should be a more credible source then you
Why are you all becoming a bunch of fascists over at CNN?
Aw CNN, You guys know boot polish isn’t a condiment right?
Oh bullshit!
Wait What! US citizens imprisoned in El Salvador?
Marco Rubio is the greatest Secretary of State in American's History. He is doing an excellent job!
This is illegal!!!
Disgusting! What happened to my country?! We should be employing American Prison Guards to guard these prisoners in America, not offshoring them!
georgiabulletin.org/news/2025/02...
And this was supposed to be his “normal” cabinet pick.
Please, please can we banish Trump to El Salvador's mega prison?
Wow..political detainees too?
The Madagascar solution
Wtf?
OK, this is too much even for our slow court system. This has to get slapped down quickly. The very idea that an American citizen or legal resident is deported to serve a sentence outside of our country, when they committed a crime inside the US. It's beyond outrageous.
Crazy
Cap
This can’t be real, this sounds like North Korean style propaganda.
This is where the USAID money is going. For Trump to bribe countries maybe even in return for canceling personnel debts. El Salvador is a crypto currency country. We won’t even see it. El Salvador is not doing this from goodness of their heart. Remember when Trump called El Salvador first thing.
while salvadorians are struggling and coming to the USA for better life their totalitarian president is banking in million that for sure he's sending across the sea to offshore banks
They will kill them all.
“violates a number of international laws”
Illegal.... unconstitutional....mighty Russian of them.
“US deportees of any nationality, including imprisoned Americans” as if this isn’t absolutely illegal and as if US citizens are simply “deportees”
And I'm sure he is not taking them for free
So the nation of El Salvador is a for-profit prison now?
The USAID money is now being used for bribes because Musk said it was corrupt.
How is this legal
None of what’s happening in US right now is legal but here we are…
Sounds nice! Once The deportees take Over, Shouldn’t take Long
In addition, Bukele "has offered to house in his jails dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those of US citizenship and legal residents," Wtf!?
Oh no Luigi!
This deal certainly raises questions about the implications for both countries. It's a bold move by El Salvador, and I'm curious how this will affect the dynamics of immigration and international relations. Will we see more nations considering similar arrangements?
Waiting for the news to drop about the pallet of US dollars that will also be accepted.
1984 on its way.
Despot respects despot. Enjoy the ride Americans, you break it u pay.
He calls it an “extraordinary migratory agreement” !!! What in the holy hell of euphemisms is that shit?!
I cannot stand the word bending these asses are doing . I totally agree Jeffrey. the adjective is overkill... migratory sounds like they are talking about birds... agreement ... how much money was involved comes to my mind.
I had the same thought about the birds! It’s always about the money.
For a fee.
Sounds like human trafficking and selling slaves
1 in 3 Afro-American men have been found guilty of a crime. At some point, someone will put forward the proposal to deport them to African prisons.
Proving once again that what are laws for Brown and poor White people are just guidelines for rich White men.
An Arab ruler with slave prisons. Is Bukele trying to live up to Hollywood stereotypes? 😂
Wtf is happening here? Every January 6th terrorists was a violent American criminal. He pardined them. This is something else. This is fascist bullshit. This is the end of America. #RESIST
*pardoned
Your okay I picked up that TRUMP "par dined" them after the release at Margoland. 😎
Whatever happened to human rights????
They're going to start disappearing Americans.
@smerconish.bsky.social and @jaketapper.bsky.social repeatedly told viewers these republicans are “actually very moderate and it’s the dems that are extremist”, so how is this possible !!!????
just the blue ones...
All the black and brown ones.
And intellectuals, and dissidents, and opposition politicians, and anyone else who doesn't comply. How far down the fascist road does the US have to get before they fully comprehend what's happening?
This is terrifying.
And Jews And people in the category All Of The Above
So why tf did every Democrat vote to confirm this scumbag?
In a third world country being more of a leader then the mfing USA 🤦♂️
Felon 47 is doing this 💩
So Rubio is perfectly ok with deporting American citizens? This is monstrous.
So we are sending now OUR prisoners to El Salvador, the country who is one of the worst in abuse of prisoners according to Amnesty International. How long will Congress just sit idle by? But then… if our last hope are the Republicans in Congress we really are in a bad place!
El Salvador is the bigger, more violent version of Gitmo. Can’t wait for the Nuremberg-like trials for Trump and his henchmen.
Trials? If only. I have no hope. Congress fucked us all.
"unprecedented illegal deal" is the way this would be written by an actual journalistic enterprise.
Follow the world SAL Trumping the Orange Baffoon's Tarriffs China Canada & Mexico say 🖕🏽 you Dump As American goods are RIPPED from shelves they appease PUKE by giving him what they already had in place with Biden PS LIAR LIED about bringing prices down www.nbcnews.com/news/world/c...
Hi CNN is it legal to deport Americans? Is that a thing that is legal to happen?
since they'll accept criminals who are US citizens, let's start with DJT
El Salvador accepting US deportees, including imprisoned Americans? That’s not a solution, it's a cowardly game of hot potato with people's lives.
The U.S. is tossing its problems away like they’re nothing, hoping El Salvador will just catch the mess and deal with it. If this is what counts as leadership, we might as well start sending our worst to the moon and call it a victory.
#Bukele is evil but not stupid, might have said yes because he is fully aware it is illegal and cannot happen - if the US justice system is still working.
The exile of American citizens to foreign countries sure sounds like an idea Trump would get from his handler, Putin.
Imprisoning political prisoners in a foreign country where their rights will not be respected, Love that for us!
Why ?
Where they will die.
What a deal youtu.be/E-Oz14D5sz0?...
How could this possibly go fucking wrong.
Bukele makes me so ashamed to be Salvadorean.
Deport Musk there now!
Deport Trump as well.
Will they take US citizens? Asking for a friend
El Salvador the land of drug cartels and police corruption want Americans? There is no logical region than to threaten violence or death to these prisoners unless a bounty/ransom is paid.
and we know that Trump loves making deals at the expense of America
This is scary stuff right here!!!!
Wtf!
Yeah, that will be going to the courts quickly.
Hey Miami here's your boy selling ya'll out
F YOU CNN for helping normalize this instead of speaking out every day before election
Imprisoned American citizens can be deported?
Not legally
Are they just going to kill them or what would be the reason to take them?
Perhaps put them on an auction block perhaps EL Salvodor sells them to Putin like North Korea does to their own soldiers. If they are young and cute traffick them to other countries for slaves.
Not constitutional and not surprised that unpatriotic Tyrant Marco Rubio supports it.
The Beginning of the End. The USA is going the wrong way.
Well if anyone is looking for me, try El Salvador I guess…
Well, it is bigger than Gittmo.
@fitfastcoach.bsky.social help out @momoffive429.bsky.social she *really* needs your training.
Small detail mentioned many paragraphs in - they are doing this FOR A FEE. We are going to pay them to take the people we don’t want. Setting aside the ick factor, has President Musk signed off on this new expense?
WTF!
This is wrong on every level. Every. Level.
They are going to send them to El Salvador? Heartless and just messed up. 😡
wait, why the fuck would imprisoned American citizens be “deported”
Because this administration doesn’t have enough court cases.
“U.S.-born citizens: If you were born in the United States, you’re a U.S. citizen by birth. This means you have full citizenship rights and cannot be deported. Even if you run into legal trouble, deportation isn’t on the table.” immigrationlawyersusa.com/can-a-us-cit...
It’s stupid that we even have to contemplate this as a possibility. FAFO.
*did have rights…. Trump has wiped his ass with our laws. They no longer exist. It’s every man for himself now.
You can be sent a citation and wipe your ass with it. You can go to the judge and tell them you don’t respect them. You can do that, but there will be consequences. Yes, this president screwed over millions of people by not taking responsibility for his actions. But he had to sacrifice others.
He still has to comply with laws, and he’s getting tied up in court. Name me one court case he won (delays don’t count).
It will require the Justice Department to file a case, and that’s not going to happen. Laws are just meaningless words written on paper. There are no rules for any of this going forward. We’re in uncharted territory, and unfortunately for us, there’s only one way out.
And anyone with any semblance of harm can file a lawsuit. SCOTUS said so a few years ago.
Sending them to Guantanamo is since the unpatriot act.
US Citizens? Still unconstitutional.
Its actually on the table. The US has a history of deporting its citzens during mass hysteria. Mexican "Repatriation" in 1929-1939 deported between 300k-2m mexican americans. 40-60% of that were American citizens.
once they handcuff you , transport you and put you on a plane after your phone call, what can you do? the laws of the USA no longer really are enforceable in the new country of USRussica... people were warned of this before the election.
It just depends. Such a broad hypothetical requires additional details so that appropriate reactions can be made. But maybe the question isn’t what the individual does. Maybe the question is what does the group do?
with regards to illegality, trump is immune and can pardon all involved, what can be done even if a judge rules yes, bring them back and trump tells his people no, do nothing? i heard tariffs are illegal without congress even under nat security basis, yet its moving forward!
there were guantonomo detainees who were rounded up, transported and never even charged. american attorneys spent years on their situation. Now could they just empty jails and move them.. while lawyers file court cases, they are already moved.. and subject to el salvadorean penal system!
Omg same reaction. What the fuck is going on?
Because Trump wants to do what he has accused other countries of doing to US! He wants to empty our prisons! Trump's handbook, accuse others of doing what you ARE doing, deflect, create a diversion, rinse and repeat! It's always the same way with Trump! He accused others of what he wants to do here!
Because they aren’t fascist enough. Political prisoners.
Make penal colonies great again, apparently. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%2...
From a civil offence, to being criminals and being forced to work. #SellingSlaves
"legally problematic" "in exchange for a fee" because US private prisons are not inhumane and expensive enough
Can’t deport American citizens.. And don’t we spend a lot of time getting imprisoned Americans back? Isn’t that Rubio’s job? and El Salvador’s gonna charge US to house American citizens/criminals
If cnn wasn’t so F’ing deranged and GOT OFF on this cruel bs, they would include in their headline: “THIS IS ILLEGAL, but…”
Backdoor attempt to destabilize El Salvador once AGAIN—because the country switched to 100% Bitcoin currency when it was priced at $19K. You haven’t seen ANY migrants from El Salvador for 5 YEARS now
