Excerpts: Trump says his administration is actively exploring a proposal to detain U.S. citizens and send them to prisons in El Salvador. "The homegrowns are next, the homegrowns. You've got to build about five more places," Trump said to Bukele, an apparent reference to prison space that would be needed in El Salvador to house U.S. citizens. "The problem of course is [Trump] already has illegally deported hundreds of people by just not giving the courts an opportunity to stop him," says David Bier of the Cato Institute. "I think that's the real fear, now that he is going to try to evade judicial review of deportations of U.S. citizens." Also: Appellate judges in the Abrego Garcia case have warned that the administration’s position would mean “the government could send any of us to a Salvadoran prison without due process.” [1].
