Trump responded, “I call them homegrown criminals… We are looking into it, and we want to do it.”
WATCH:
The idea of sending American criminals to foreign prisons is sure to ignite legal debates. The U.S. Constitution and existing laws don’t exactly support deporting citizens for incarceration abroad. But Trump’s suggestion reveals how far he’s willing to go to fight rising crime and restore law and order—something many Americans believe is sorely lacking under the Biden administration.
Earlier that day, Trump met with Bukele in the Oval Office. What was meant to be a diplomatic photo-op quickly turned into a showdown with the mainstream press. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, known for her combative approach, found herself on the receiving end of a multi-front verbal assault from Trump, Bukele, and key administration officials including former Senator Marco Rubio and adviser Stephen Miller.
The flashpoint? A Supreme Court order stating the U.S. should “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a known MS-13 member, back to American soil. Bukele made his stance crystal clear.
“How can I return a criminal to the US? Smuggle a terrorist in?” Bukele asked, sharply rebuking the court order. He then turned to Collins and called her line of questioning “absurd.”
“The question is preposterous,” Bukele continued. “I don’t have the power to return him to the United States.”
Rubio, backing Bukele, emphasized that national sovereignty matters and that presidents—not judges—conduct foreign policy. “I don’t understand what the confusion is. Abrego Garcia, a citizen of El Salvador, was illegally in the United States and was returned to his country. The foreign policy of the United States is conducted by the president of the United States, not by a court,” Rubio stated firmly.
Still, Collins tried to corner the panel with more legal hypotheticals. “You said if SCOTUS said return someone, you’d abide by that?” she asked.

That’s when Trump stepped in and shut it down.
“How long do we have to answer this question from you? Why don’t you just say, ‘Isn’t it wonderful we’re keeping criminals out of our country?’ Why can’t you just say that? Why do you go over and over – that’s why nobody watches you. You have NO credibility,” Trump fired back.
The moment, captured on video and already going viral, encapsulates Trump’s no-filter, America-first message that continues to energize his base. It also showed his admiration for world leaders who don’t play games when it comes to national security—something Bukele embodies fully.
While critics will no doubt label the idea of exporting criminals as extreme or unconstitutional, Trump supporters see it as a bold solution in a country plagued by rising crime and judicial overreach. One thing is clear: Trump’s message hasn’t changed. He’s fighting to put American citizens first—and he’s not interested in asking permission from activist judges or left-wing journalists.
With 2024 looming, these moments are sharpening the contrast between Trump’s unapologetic leadership and the lawlessness many say has flourished under Joe Biden. And now, with global allies like Bukele on his side, Trump appears more emboldened than ever.
