Donald Trump has suggested “homegrown criminals” in the US could be deported to jails in El Salvador \u2013 saying the US attorney general is “studying the laws right now”.<\/p>\n

He made the comment while speaking alongside the Central American nation’s president, Nayib Bukele, in the White House.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has sent hundreds<\/a><\/strong> of alleged Venezuelan gang members to CECOT, a maximum security prison in El Salvador, since March.<\/p>\n

When asked about the deportations – which were briefly blocked<\/a><\/strong> by a US court last month – Mr Trump<\/a><\/strong> said: “I’d like to go a step further.<\/p>\n

“We also have homegrown criminals that push people into subways, hit elderly ladies on the back of the head when they’re not looking, that are absolute monsters.<\/p>\n

“I’d like to include them in people to get out of the country.”<\/p>\n

When pressed on the matter by a reporter, he replied: “They’re as bad anybody that comes in. We have bad ones too. I’m all for it.”<\/p>\n

US Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was present at the meeting, is “studying the laws right now”, the US president added.<\/p>\n

“If we can do that, that’s good,” he said. “I’m talking about violent people, really bad people.<\/p>\n

“We can do things with the president [of El Salvador] for less money and have great security. He does a great job with that. We have other we’re negotiating with too.”<\/p>\n

The Trump administration has been deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members<\/a><\/strong> to the El Salvador jail since mid-March, when the US president signed the Alien Enemies Act.<\/p>\n

The law from 1798 has been invoked just three times before, in wartime. It allows the president to detain and deport immigrants living in the US legally if they are from countries seen as “enemies” of the government.<\/p>\n

Lawyers and immigrant rights groups have been unable to contact the men sent to the 40,000 capacity CECOT prison – the largest detention facility in Latin America.<\/p>\n

A judge issued a temporary block on the deportations on 17 March, but this was lifted by the Supreme Court last week.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
