In a chilling Oval Office exchange, Trump told El Salvador’s President Bukele, ‘The homegrowns are next,’ openly threatening to send American citizens to El Salvador’s notorious mega-prisons.

I don't think Republicans fully grasp the precedent being set here.
If this flies, there is nothing to stop a future Democrat president from extraditing Trump and his cabinet for that American citizen that got deported by accident, if he dies in El Salvador's custody. Or all of the Jan 6 folks.
This rhetoric signals a terrifying erosion of constitutional protections and due process. If the government can strip citizens of their rights and exile them abroad, no one is safe.
Remember that rumor of martial law being enacted in 4/20? And how there’s a nationwide protest on 4/19? Any chance the people in charge of planning the protests are Trump agents so they have a reason to enact martial law? Why do they need 5 more 40,000 population El Salvador prisons? For protestors
