Not just political rivals. Protesting can get you sent to El Salvador prison. Remember, Trump wanted to shoot protestors back in his first term. Compared to that, being sent to El Salvador prison is getting off easy.
Trump says his administration is actively exploring a proposal to detain U.S. citizens and send them to prisons in El Salvador. "The homegrowns are next, the homegrowns. You've got to build about five more places," Trump said to Bukele, an apparent reference to prison space that would be needed in El Salvador to house U.S. citizens.
"The problem of course is [Trump] already has illegally deported hundreds of people by just not giving the courts an opportunity to stop him," says David Bier of the Cato Institute. "I think that's the real fear, now that he is going to try to evade judicial review of deportations of U.S. citizens."
Also:
Appellate judges in the Abrego Garcia case have warned that the administration’s position would mean “the government could send any of us to a Salvadoran prison without due process.” [1].
He is 100% going to imprison his political rivals in El Salvador if he gets away with the Garcia case.
The world is still trying to recover from this new reality, despite the seeds of this being clearly evident from history.
On the flip side, looks like business will be good for El Salvador and all those who have invested in or will be employed by this new prison pipeline.

What, Anerican prisons aren't great enough? And isn't the trade deficit too high already?
