President Trump announced his desire to send criminal US citizens to foreign jails as a way to “get these animals out of our country.” This decision came after El Salvador’s president offered to accept deportees from the US of any nationality, including violent Americans, as relayed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Trump specifically mentioned New York City subway shovers as examples of offenders he would like to ship off to countries known for their strict handling of felons. He emphasized the need to remove hardened criminals and horrible individuals from the US, citing incidents of individuals pushing people into subway tracks as a prime example.
He proposed that sending these individuals to foreign jails would be a more cost-effective and deterrent measure compared to the current prison system. Trump also highlighted the potential for deals with other countries to house these criminals, emphasizing that the plan would only apply to the most severe cases.
Additionally, Trump mentioned the ongoing effort to deport illegal immigrants charged with or convicted of crimes and expressed his willingness to explore the legalities of sending US citizens to foreign prisons. He believes that such actions would lead to a decrease in crime rates and ensure the safety of American citizens.
Overall, Trump is determined to remove individuals who have a history of repeated criminal offenses and believes that this approach would contribute to a significant reduction in crime rates in the country.
