Donald Trump reiterated that he would “like it” to send American citizens who have committed crimes to a prison in El Salvador, according to an interview with an interview released today, in a new attempt to test the US.
“Those who grew up (in the US) and something went wrong and are now hitting people in the head with baseball sticks and pushing people into the subway while the train arrives – we look at it, we want to do it. I would love to do this, “said the US president on the Spanish -speaking channel Foxal Deportes, referring to their imprisonment in El Salvador.
Trump had also mentioned this idea at a meeting on Monday at the White House with his Salvadorian counterpart Nagib Bouquel.
“We also have our own criminals (…) I would like to include them in the group (foreigners) to drive them out of the country,” he said.
Bouquel has already received more than 250 people deported in mid -March by the US and taken to the colossal anti -terrorist prison of the highest security of Secot, which he built in the context of the “war” he declared in the gangs.
The measure suggested by Trump would be “obviously illegal and unconstitutional,” commented NBC News by Ilia Somin, a law professor at George Mason, near Washington.
Steven Yale-Ler, a specialist in immigration law and a former professor at Cornell University, said that in Time magazine that “when US citizens are found guilty of a crime, they are serving their sentence in some local or federal prison. They are not deported. “
