Do you support Trump sending some Americans to foreign prisons?

[Cubus]

Trump suggested on Truth Social that people charged with attacking Tesla could serve time in “lovely” prisons in El Salvador.

Trump levied the threat on who he called “sick terrorist thugs” that have been charged with throwing Molotov cocktails and setting fire to Teslas around the country, as well as vandalizing Tesla property. The car company has become increasingly tied to the president, due to his close alliance with Tesla CEO and senior White House adviser Elon Musk.

The criminal charges, announced Thursday, came after weeks of demonstrations at Tesla showrooms protesting Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency’s mass layoffs. Many of the protests were peaceful, but there were instances of vandalism and arson

The Trump administration has already sent migrants to El Salvador’s prisons, which has faced legal challenges.

I don't want Trump to weaponize the DOJ as the Democrats have in recent years. That is NOT the answer!

[Dongie]

I agree OWL, but I also want him to clean up all the corrupt political crap as well as the reach they have in the schools.

[KostasKouvalis]

I could get behind that, even though it's probably illegal

[lightbulb27]

I like the threat... realize he uses words, first to control people... as a power. if doesn't work, might follow through.

yes and prisons is another thing we need to make great... they never were. Outsourcing would reduce costs, avoid the need to build new ones and frankly, might be built in much nicer places... like Saskatchawan, Alaska (usa), Africa. Military could move them... granted, there's a cost to transport.

the food costs alone be so much cheaper... rice and beans each day and some water... is cheap.

Would you prefer an American’s deportation to a foreign prison or a drone strike upon a native born American also deemed to be a terrorist as order by the Executive Branch on September 30, 2011 and later reveled in their mission success? The present administration has left what it deems as a terrorist to live for another day. Quite a different outcome compared to the 2011 drone strike’s outcome. Which infuriates you more?

No. It's an end run around the Constitution. Full stop 🛑

If you say dumb things over and over, people will think you're dumb.

[Manwomanmythmale]

I mean the cars are ugly as shit but don't go to jail to destroy them. Just don't buy if you don't like them.

[Dargil]

Great idea. They can learn about a new hobby. Anal rape.

It is really funny how President Trump can play liberals like a violin.

[Surely]

Foreign prisons probably cost less to house the bad actors. Better deterrent. Plus the US doesn’t need to build and staff more prisons!

[SmokinAces2000]

In 2025 we have presidents threatening to send US citizens to foreign prisons smh. This is what y'all voted for tho

[Dongie]

Why would it bother anybody considering what these thugs have done?

[SmokinAces2000]

So vandalizing precious teslas is worse than actual domestic terrorism? I hope you have these same views for Brandon Russel or Robert Bowers. I hope you have these same views for murderers like Travis and Gregory McMicheal. I’m sure you and the rest of the Republican Party were advocating for them to be sent away to foreign prisons. Right?

[Dongie]

This IS domestic terrorism.

[SmokinAces2000]

So are you going to acknowledge anything else I said or run away back to your echo chamber?

[Dongie]

I don't care where they get locked up as long as it's for 20 years.

[BCA6010]

US Citizens? No.

[beefcakebradybatson]
