    Trump floats sending Americans to foreign prisons. Civil rights groups say that would be illegal



    President Donald Trump has repeatedly floated sending American prisoners to serve prison sentences outside the country — this time threatening the people charged with vandalizing Teslas.

    Civil rights groups say the move is illegal and life-threatening.

    Trump’s suggestion on Truth Social on Friday to send the Tesla attackers to El Salvador marks an escalation of his already controversial use of foreign prisons, this time potentially targeting American citizens.

    If put into action, the administration is likely to face yet another legal battle as it pushes the bounds of executive power in what civil and prisoners’ rights organizations are calling a “constitutional crisis.”

    “There’s no precedent to send U.S. citizens elsewhere outside the country, to serve sentences in other prisons,” Insha Rahman, the vice president of advocacy at the decades-old criminal justice reform organization Vera Institute of Justice, told POLITICO. “It is so beyond the pale of anything contemplated by the Constitution or due process or the criminal courts.”

    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.

    Trump said he hopes those charged — which includes three people who are accused of setting or trying to set fire to cars or charging stations — will get 20 years of prison time.

    “Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday.

    told reporters in the Oval Office. “I don’t know if we do or not, we’re looking at that right now.”

    The White House declined to comment Friday.

    The Department of Justice did not name the three individuals charged with the Tesla arson crimes Thursday, and did not immediately respond to questions about their identities on Friday. But three arrests previously announced by local U.S. Attorney’s offices appear to match Thursday’s announcements. Those three previous announcements did not make a reference to domestic terrorism charges.

    It would be a clear violation of the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution, according to Lauren-Brooke Eisen, the senior director of the justice program at the Brennan Center for Justice. The Constitution prohibits “cruel and unusual punishments” to protect criminals from serving excessive sentences or being subjected to inhumane prison conditions.

    “It’s also critical to know that this move would be illegal under the First Step Act, as the law requires the federal government to make sure those convicted of federal crimes are sent to ‘a facility as close as practicable to the prisoner’s primary residence, and to the extent practicable, in a facility within 500 driving miles of that residence,’” Eisen told POLITICO in a statement.
    It remains to be seen whether Trump will act on this threat of potentially jailing the alleged Tesla arsonists — or any other Americans charged or convicted of a crime — outside the country.

    “It’s highly politicized what he’s doing,” Raphling said. “We’re gonna add extra punishment for you who engaged in vandalism against my crony, and it certainly is designed to put fear into people who are protesting lawfully.”

    I'm just happy you finally came out and admitted you weren't a Libertarian. I always knew you were a fraud and a illiterate. Social media destroyed whatever brain cells you had left

    @StupidMoniker "free speech" is when you threaten elected officials when they talk bad about a unelected billionaire

    Promoting violence is not free speech. We learned that J6.

    But as you're an extremist, I don't think you understand this

    She didn't promote violence against Musk you moron. All she said was Musk needs to be taken down. In no way shape or form is that "violence" when you braindead morons said 100x worst during bidens tenure.

    I oppose punishment for "talking bad" about anyone, unelected billionaire or otherwise. I would hope you agree. I'm not sure why you tagged me in this post, as I am both for free speech and not MAGA.

    @Space Ghost remember when this braindead troll claimed that Trump is surrounded by "excellent generals" lol. The head of the Pentagon accidentally added and shared classified info with a reporter by accident by adding them to a group chat lol.

    This is why you don't hire foxnews hosts to run the Pentagon. His braindead supporters @Space Ghost will continue to claim how amazing he is cuz he's a white dude.

    DEI for unqualified white men

    "According to a national study conducted by Emerson College Polling, voters find President Trump's approval rating at 47% and a disapproval rating of 45%. Trump’s disapproval increased two points while his approval rating decreased one percentage point after a national poll conducted after the Zelensky-Trump meeting.
    The findings suggest his approval rating has declined due to his economic and healthcare policies.

    In the February poll President Trump job approval rating was 48% while his disapproval rating was 42%."

    It looks like the Honeymoon period, which was overall not that great - is coming to an end as his approval rating has slightly fallen and his disapproval rating has increased.

    We are headed back to a very divided electorate again - with the question of the economy hanging over all of this.
