It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months.
If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress.
To my knowledge, they have not done so.

Has anyone produced the contract by which El Salvador is holding folks for the US?

Bukele stated he’d only accept “convicted criminals.”
Although one will be produced appropriately backdated and signed if pressed.
Also, Did Rubio know about DOGE killing our soft power? (USAID, VOA etc). Or closing consulates? Or firing career FSOs?

That is not hyperbole. It's actually happening.

Can the US take people within the US and hand them to Russia who has said, I will imprison them?
Short answer, no. Due Process is required.
I don’t think “due process” really answers the question.
These people in general are NOT convicted and sentence El Salvadorans. They aren’t asking us to send them this person for a conviction.
Assume there is a process. Can we “deport people” to other countries whom intend to imprison these people, and we know that is the outcome?
I’ve seen zero discussion about this.

State declaration in Abrego Garcia case refers to “arrangements”—term used to avoid implying a legally binding agreement reportable under Case-Zablocki.
In February, there was also reporting on a broader “agreement.”
The amended reporting requirements for international agreements and qualifying non-binding instruments are here.

I’ld like to know myself.
*The Republicans, who have control of both the House and the Senate deserve by far the most blame.
I know they do tend to document illegal things, but this seems something they really would not want documented.
Every country is begging Donald for this and that, but El Salvador is different, somehow. It's pathetic.
interesting write up, but didn't look too see if it (the write up) had an agenda behind it
"Reporting Requirements:
The Act requires the State Department to submit all executive agreements to the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee within 60 days. "
MAGA
Don’t forget who you’re dealing with.

This is what Bukele wrote on X about the men he and Trump are trafficking:
Not what I'm suggesting

Stick it on the growing list of court cases against the administration, all of which can rumble on ad nauseam without making an iota of difference to what actually happens.
Just a view from across the pond.
ILLEGAL UNDER OUR LAWS AND INTERNATIONAL LAW.
AND THEY ADMITTED THEIR GUILT.
Trump's family and partners seemed to have a lot of contact with El Salvador long before the election.
Needs to be investigated thoroughly.
How is this NOT constructive custody?
