El Salvador Open to Housing American Prisoners

"We have offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system," Bukele said in a social media post. "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."

Following President Donald Trump saying he wants to exile Americans who are violent repeat offenders to foreign prisons on January 27, the President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele told U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday that he is open to accepting the exiled Americans.

“He has offered to house in his jails dangerous American criminals in custody in our country, including those with U.S. citizenship and legal residency,” Rubio said. “…no country’s ever made an offer of friendship such as this.”

Bukele took to social media on Monday to publicly state his offer. He views it as an affordable option for the U.S. and a good economic proposition for the South American country.

“We have offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system,” Bukele said in a social media post. “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.”

Trump said that he doesn’t want these people in his country.

“We also have many violent criminals in our country however that did not necessarily come here illegally, but have been arrested 30 times, 35 times, 41, 42 times in a couple of cases, 25 times, 18 times. Many for murder, other heinous charges such as pushing people into subways as the train’s coming along at 45 miles per hour, boom, you get pushed into the subway,” Trump said on January 27. “Hitting them in the head with baseball bats while they’re not looking, punching old ladies in the face knocking them unconscious and stealing their purse. They even break into apartments and rape elderly women and beat up elderly men, beat them to hell. And I don’t want these violent repeat offenders in our country anymore than I want illegal aliens from other countries who misbehave.”

“El Salvador has also agreed to back US President Donald Trump’s effort to crack down on illegal migration, taking in deported migrants and ‘criminals of any nationality, be they MS-13 or Tren de Aragua,’ Rubio said, mentioning the two major transnational crime gangs operating in Central and North America. MS-13 (Mara Salvatrucha) is comprised primarily of Salvadorians, the other Rubio mentioned is largely Venezuelan,” RT said Tuesday.
