US could deport 'homegrown criminals' to El Salvador jail, Trump suggests
Donald Trump has suggested "homegrown criminals" in the US could be deported to jails in El Salvador – saying the US attorney general is "studying the laws right now".
He made the comment while speaking alongside the Central American nation's president, Nayib Bukele, in the White House. The Trump administration has sent hundreds of alleged Venezuelan gang members to CECOT, a maximum security prison in El Salvador, since March.
When asked about the deportations - which were briefly blocked by a US court last month - Mr Trump said: "I'd like to go a step further. "We also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways, hit elderly ladies on the back of the head when they're not looking, that are absolute monsters.
"I'd like to include them in people to get out of the country." When pressed on the matter by a reporter, he replied: "They're as bad as anybody that comes in. We have bad ones too.
I'm all for it." US Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was present at the meeting, is "studying the laws right now.
