"WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is paying roughly $6 million for El Salvador to jail the 238 Venezuelan gang suspects deported Sunday, according to the White House.
That works out to roughly $25,000 per detainee — a 43% discount on average US prison costs."
“It was approximately $6 million to El Salvador for the detention of these foreign terrorists,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at her regular briefing Monday.
“I would point out that is pennies on the dollar in comparison to the cost of life and the cost it would impose on the American taxpayer to house these terrorists and maximum security prisons here in the United States of America.”
So, just how many of those "gang SUSPECTS" would actually be sentenced to prison and for what crimes? I suppose that is a moot question since Trump does not believe in due process for anyone except himself.
The taxpayers of this country are paying El Salvador $6 million. There is reason to suspect that it is only the first of many such payments.
