President Donald Trump confirmed that he wants his administration to deport U.S. citizens to a prison in El Salvador.
During a Monday meeting with Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele, Trump was asked about the possibility of deporting citizens to the notorious Cecot prison.
"You mentioned that you're open to deporting individuals that aren't foreign aliens but are criminals to El Salvador," one White House reporter noted. "Does that include potentially U.S. citizens fully naturalized?"
"If they're criminals and if they hit people with baseball bats over their head that happen to be 90 years old and if if they rape 87-year-old women in Coney Island, Brooklyn," Trump replied. "Yeah. And why do you think there's a special category of person? They're as bad as anybody that comes in. We have bad ones, too."

"And I'm all for it because we can do things with the [Salvadorian] president for less money and have great security."
Trump said he had "no problem" deporting what he called "a homegrown criminal."
"We're studying the laws right now. [Attorney General Pam Bondi] is studying if we can do that. That's good," he added. "I'm talking about really bad people, really bad people, every bit as bad as the ones coming in."
