Trump’s administration just admitted to “accidentally” sending a father with no criminal record to El Salvador’s notorious mega-prison – and now they’re fighting to keep him there.

Shipping Gang Members Off to a Foreign Super Max
Well, folks, it looks like President Trump has found a creative solution to America’s gang problem – just ship ’em off to President Bukele’s hellhole in El Salvador! The administration’s new initiative involves deporting suspected gang members to CECOT, El Salvador’s mega-prison that makes Alcatraz look like a five-star resort. This concrete nightmare can hold up to 40,000 inmates, with cells packed with 65-70 prisoners each. No visitation, no recreation, no education – just concrete walls and metal bars until you die. And we’re paying $6 million for the privilege of sending people there. What a bargain!
The most disturbing part? Trump seems downright giddy about the arrangement. When asked about potentially sending American citizens to this foreign dungeon, our Commander-in-Chief practically gushed with enthusiasm. This isn’t some liberal media spin – the words came straight from his mouth:
“I love that, If we could take some of our 20-time wise guys that push people into subways and hit people over the back of the head and purposely run people over in cars, if he would take them, I would be honored to give them.”
When “Administrative Error” Means Destroying an Innocent Life
The administration’s enthusiasm for shipping people off to foreign dungeons recently hit a little snag when they accidentally sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man with no U.S. criminal record, to CECOT. Oopsie! Just a little “administrative error,” they claim. Garcia lived in Maryland with his American citizen wife and son and had legal protection from deportation. But hey, details, details! The government admits they made a mistake but is fighting tooth and nail to keep him in El Salvador rather than bring him back.
What evidence does the government have that Garcia is an MS-13 gang member? Apparently, he once wore a Chicago Bulls hat. I’m not joking. That’s part of their “evidence.” Not a criminal conviction. Not weapons or drugs. A Chicago Bulls hat. His poor wife had to identify him in prison photos by his tattoos and scars because his face was barely recognizable. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance is busy spinning this disaster into leftist media hysteria, claiming it’s “gross” that people care about someone being wrongfully imprisoned.
The 1798 Law That Shouldn’t Be Used in 2025
To justify this whole mess, the administration dusted off the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 – a law so old it was passed when John Adams was president and we were worried about a war with France. A federal judge already ordered a halt to using this archaic law, calling the government’s actions “wholly lawless.” But deportations continue regardless. The administration hasn’t even disclosed the full details of this $6 million arrangement with El Salvador, where human rights organizations have documented abuse, torture, and lack of medical care in prisons.
Look, I’m all for getting dangerous criminals off our streets. MS-13 and Tren de Aragua are vicious gangs whose members deserve severe punishment. But we have a Constitution for a reason. We have due process for a reason. And we’re Americans – we don’t ship our citizens off to foreign prisons without trial just because it’s convenient or makes for good propaganda videos. If these people are guilty, prosecute them here under American law. When did “America First” start to mean “let’s outsource our justice system to El Salvador”? The road to tyranny is paved with “administrative errors” that somehow never get corrected.
