El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele offered to detain more violent criminals, including U.S. citizens, in his country's jails during his White House visit Monday. President Donald Trump was then caught on a hot mic telling Bukele to build more prisons—five exactly—for "homegrown criminals" because they "are next"—despite the fact that sending U.S. citizens to foreign prisons is unconstitutional, per legal experts.
Rubio described Bukele's offer as a generous deal, highlighting the high costs of keeping prisoners in American jails. Trump also publicly declared he was "all for" deporting violent criminals, even if they are U.S. citizens.
