U.S. President Donald Trump has floated the controversial idea of deporting American-born criminals to El Salvador.
In response to a reporter’s question, Trump said he would “love” to send violent repeat offenders, like subway pushers and career criminals, abroad if legal.
Trump claims El Salvador could jail such offenders at a lower cost and called the offer a “great deal.” Critics are expected to raise legal and constitutional concerns over deporting citizens.
Trump, however, insists he would only pursue the plan within the bounds of U.S. law.
