“Homegrowns Are Next”: Protests Erupt as Trump Proposes Sending U.S. Citizens to Salvadoran Prisons

During Monday’s talks, President Trump said he wants to transfer some violent criminals who are U.S. citizens to El Salvador, adding that Attorney General Pam Bondi is “studying the law.” Trump was caught on a hot microphone telling Bukele, “Homegrown criminals are next,” adding, “You’re going to need about five more places.”

In Maryland, protesters marched through downtown Baltimore Monday.

Martha Taylor: “This could happen to anyone. I mean, we need to worry about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but if he can be disappeared into a prison like this, just taken off the street by an administrative error, that could happen to any citizen, that could happen to any person, and President Trump would just say, ‘Ah, I can’t do anything.’ … So, I believe that fascism is here in America. I don’t believe there is the rule of law anymore. And I think everybody needs to wake up and get out in the streets.”
