The US is paying El Salvador to take the prisoners. Presumably they could just stop paying if they don't want that?

They may have already paid it all ($6 million for 300 prisoners for a year); I don't know of a source about any payment schedule. And this is Trump administration paying it, so nobody but Trump or courts probably has legal power to stop paying now.
