ALL these deported has been done illegally and without due process. Yes I care about Mr. Garcia's unconstitutional deportation. But what about the others being swept under the rug? Bring them all back. If need be pay El Salvador to release them. Trump's such a freaking great negotiator? He's an asshole king.

Congress has been appropriating huge sums to El Salvador, and the Northern Triangle as a whole, for years. I'm uncertain of the status of the most recent funding package, but threatening to pause it/future disbursements would certainly create a financial incentive. These funds have been in excess of $100mil/year, which makes the prisoner fee almost paltry in comparison. Perhaps Bukele prefers the pay-for-prisoner scheme because there are no strings attached regarding human rights and control of migration policies.
