Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared Monday to sidestep commenting directly on whether it’s legal to send U.S. citizens to El Salvador to serve in the country’s notoriously brutal prisons, after President Trump said earlier in the day he’s “all for” sending Americans to the facilities during a White House meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele.
Bondi was asked during an interview with Jesse Watters on Fox News whether Trump’s idea was legal.
