Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

There was also a very concerning hot mic moment

Any chance of a summary rather than a link to a .mov file?
Paraphrasing: The homegrowns are next. We gotta get rid of the homegrown criminals. You gotta build about 5 more places.
Trump to Bukele
Very concerning for sure.
Understatement.
what is homegrown? what does that mean?
I assume “grown”—or “born and raised—in America.
AKA: US citizens.
It means American
There's no context...
I hate the guy too, and I'm certain he wants to kill us all, but I don't think he's dumb enough to be so cavalier in front of cameras and mics to say such a thing.
He could be talking about the rose garden for all we know.
This is eerily similar to the uncomfortable photos taken of Biden where it looks like he's looking down a 13yos blouse when in reality it was just impeccable timing as he turned his head. You take thousands of photos a day of a guy, eventually you're gonna come up with a few that look pervy.
He was speaking to the president of El Salvador in regards to building more supermax prisons to incarcerate “homegrown” criminals. He repeated it on camera. The only difference with the hot mic is the scale that he failed to mention on camera.
He was asked about it directly by reporters, sending US citizens to El Salvadorian prisons. He said he wanted to and there have been multiple confirmations that the White House is exploring this.
As far as I can find out, there is no constitutional restriction on outsourcing the imprisonment of Americans in foreign countries. This is not deportation.
Australia was founded on the outsourcing of imprisonment of British prisoners, after the US war of Independence when US states refused to continue to take British prisoners.
Garcia was determined to be a refugee because he was a member of an El Salvadorian gang, so there is no likelihood he will be released in El Salvador.
That’s precisely why they don’t want to return Garcia. Once he shared the details of the cruel and unusual punishment that the inmates endure, SCOTUS would have to prohibit incarceration in CECOT under the Eighth Amendment.
