Trump raised the idea in talks on Monday with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele -- the self-proclaimed “world’s coolest dictator” who has already taken detained migrants from the United States into his country’s jails.
“I call them homegrown criminals,“ Trump said according to excerpts of an interview with Fox Noticias, a Spanish-language program being broadcast later Tuesday.
“We are looking into it and we want to do it. I would love to do it.”
The White House said Tuesday it was still exploring whether such a move would be within the law.
“He would only consider this, if legal, for Americans who are the most violent egregious repeat offenders of crime who nobody in this room wants living in their communities.”
Trump has already sent more than 250 migrants there, mostly under a centuries-old wartime law that deprives them of due process -- in exchange for a fee of $6 million paid to El Salvador.
Trump’s administration already faces pressure over the case of a migrant who was mistakenly deported from the United States to El Salvador under the Bukele deal.
The US Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to facilitate his return from the notorious jail after the White House said he was deported after an “administrative error.”
Trump officials insist he is an illegal migrant and a member of El Salvador’s notorious MS-13 gang, despite never having been convicted.
