I have a stupid question: how did El Salvador even agree to this? Like what mechanism allowed Republicans to send people there to begin with?
El Salvador’s regime has already sent 80k people to gulags since 2022, and capitalism found it cheaper to outsource US gulags to poor countries, the same way it did for manufacturing. Rather ironic, really.
Also, Trump’s definitely making money off the deal somehow. It isn’t realistic to airlift tens of thousands of Americans there though. This is just the start. They’ll probably start building domestic death camps soon; to disappear the bulk of the undesirables.

It is more of a way to sidestep the judicial process. The executive branch can act faster than the judicial branch in removing someone from the country before appeals. Once the person is in a foreign country, they are no longer in custody of someone under the control of American judges.
It isn’t a cost saving measure, it is a legal loophole.
Good point. But is there any meaningful difference between capitalism and its legal system?
From my understanding it’s a very poor nation with a deeply corrupt leadership. Said leaders are taking the opportunity to make money from industrialized incarceration without any oversight. The US president is openly breaking the law by deporting people there but has nothing to worry about anyway because the harshest form of protest the american people can think of is a passive aggressive tweet (that will generate ad revenue for the biggest monetary Trump supporter). The best part of this is that once people are there he can just raise his hands and say “well I can’t get them back, they’re outside the US!”
Not a direct answer and this video is out of date with current events, but the background on the current state of El Salvador is worth knowing: https://youtu.be/WtkI-QAgM6w
El Salvador, please remember the iron law of dealing with trump:
Everyone who works with trump will be shit on. No exceptions.
Build your prisons, you’ll be stuck with them either way because trump isn’t going to pay for anything, and he’ll probably demand you use his companies to do it so you lose twice as much.
Trump said. “I’d like to include them in the group of people to get them out of the country. But you’ll have to be looking at the laws.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤨
I might just be a libtard and don’t understand. But shouldn’t the president be the one “looking at the laws?”
So one of the most lucrative businesses in the US, the incarceration system, is now getting fucked because people are sent to El Salvador. The entire corrupt justice and incarceration system which was created when slavery ended. This is going to enrage a lot of powerful people. A lot of US tax dollars are going to be spent to a foreign nation instead of domestic (corrupt) businesses. Is that diaper Donny’s idea of America First? Due to the lack of workers thanks to ICE they want to flex child labor laws. US incarceration was built for cheap or free labor (slavery is still legal when incarcerated). And now they send all those slaves abroad.
Idiocracy was an understatement and their idea of 2505 is more like 2025.
Now all we need is train lines straight to those camps
Then, it can get quite cold in those camps, so maybe we should build some big diesel generators to, you know, make sure the inmates can get hot showers…
I guarantee you that ben Shapiro would be raving about those showers, they’d be a luxury for the prisoners
Fuck everything about this timeline
