The US has deported another 10 people that it alleges are gang members to El Salvador, secretary of state Marco Rubio said on Sunday, a day before that country’s president is due to visit the White House.

“Last night, another 10 criminals from the MS-13 and Tren de Aragua Foreign Terrorist Organizations arrived in El Salvador,” Rubio said in an X/Twitter post.

The alliance between Donald Trump and El Salvador president Nayib Bukele “has become an example for security and prosperity in our hemisphere”, Rubio added. The US president is due to meet Bukele at the White House on Monday.

It comes as US officials said in court filings on Sunday that they were not obliged to help a Maryland resident get out of prison in El Salvador after he was erroneously deported, despite a supreme court ruling directing the government to “facilitate” his return to the US.

3. "That it alleges" is as good as due process.

4. By the time the Supreme Court can get around to deciding all these due process cases, they"ll all be dead.

13. This is probably part of the plan

Will make things easier on Trump and his goons

6. So what is it costing US tax payers to imprison one

inmate per year in this El Salvador prison?

10. I think 2.5 million was mentioned for the first batch for 1 year

7. This is not the kind of thing a superpower does

[maxsolomon]

11. Superpowers imprison Muslims in Guantanamo for decades

without due process.

So, it kind of already is something a superpower does.

[Walleye]

12. Maybe so, but it's still not the kind of thing we're supposed to do. It makes us look weak for one thing.

8. I thought the SC rulled they had to have "due process"

Wasn't that another rulling? That they would at least get due process in Texas federal court?

9. When can we deport the Trump gang?
