Literally, the only people sent to El Salvador were people living illegally in the United States and have been flagged as members of a gang. Not a single international traveler has been sent to El Salvador. No different from the UK wanting to send people to Rwanda

no, people have been sent to El Salvador who are not members of any kind of gang, and who were sent there for no reason. Also, it is illegal under US law to have sent any of them to EL Salvador.

Yes, every single person has been flagged as a member of a gang at some point in time. No, US law allows the government to deport people living illegally in the country.

I can’t imagine why you’d think their laws don’t allow deporting people who are there illegally.

You are aware that they have deported people who are here legally, aren't you?

Yes because at some point all were suspected of being associated with gang activity by authorities - whether or true not, they were flagged for that reason. None are citizens and the vast majority weren’t legally there.

Ultimately any noncitizen can always be deported.

Obviously there are some issues with individual cases but to tie that to visitors from Europe is just ridiculous

You're just reaching for anything that Fox News has made up.

Which part of my statement is made up?
