President Donald Trump would consider deporting American citizens convicted repeatedly of violent crimes to prisons outside the country if it were legally allowed, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday.
“It’s a legal question that the president is looking into,” Leavitt said at the press briefing. “He talked about this yesterday with his meeting with [Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele] in the Oval Office. He would only consider this, if legal, for Americans who are the most violent, egregious repeat offenders of crime who nobody in this room wants living in their communities.”
