About 90% of Migrants Deported to El Salvador Had No US Criminal Record

Thursday, April 10, 2025

Bloomberg was able to dig deeper into the records of the 238 migrants that the U.S. sent to infamously dangerous prison in El Salvador and found that about 90 percent have no criminal record. Trump administration said the 238 men were the worst of the worst.

Trump officials have described the men deported to El Salvador prisons as "the worst of the worst." The reality is that of 238 migrants accused of belonging to the Tren de Aragua gang, just a small fraction had ever been charged with serious crimes

President Trump is a convicted felon.

It was never about them being a criminal.

Not being white is, if not a straight out crime in this country, at least suspicious behavior in the Trump Era.

Ax' a German Jew what that was like.

"Not being white is, if not a straight out crime in this country, at least suspicious behavior in the Trump Era."

Regardless of criminal record they are all poisoning the blood of America!

Your blood had been "poisoned" since 1492.

It's your morals.

It's the fluoride!

It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works!!

He's handling immigration like he's handling the economy: recklessly.

I always say this to MAGA, eventually he'll get to somebody you care about.

100% certainty that'll happen.

The MAGA reckoning will follow.

"The MAGA reckoning will follow."

You overestimate these troglodytes.

I highly suspect this isn't totally accurate, but let's pretend it's close, they were here illegally. They had an opportunity to self deport themselves to anywhere in the world they wanted to go, and it's not like they weren't warned ahead of time.

OK so 10% of them already have done crimes here, after a limited time. What are their records like from their home country?

#12 | Posted by itchyp at 2025-04-10 03:28 PM

prejudice is a terrible thing. 48.8 percent of murder arrests are not blacks.

#13 | Posted by itchyp at 2025-04-10 03:32 PM

90% of the migrants deported to El Salvador aren't rapists with 34 felony convictions. Good to know.

@#12 ... What are their records like from their home country? ...

If that were really a criterion for deporting them, then the due process proceedings that they were denied would have provided that evidence.

If that were really a criterion for ~~deporting~~ importing them...
We wouldn't be having a problem now

Daddysfist's pedo idol imported the Tate brothers.

@#16 ... If that were really a criterion for deporting importing them... ...

So, your current seems to agree with my comment that they should have been given the due process that the Trump admin denied to them.

That just goes to show that the Trump admin apparently knew they had little or no evidence for deporting the criminals they said they were deporting.

The ethics-free felon bastard hasn't even re-united the children he separated his first term.

One of many reasons Trump is going to hell

We're getting them TF out. No more debates, no more delays. No more whining and crying. If you don't like it, too bad, so sad.

Along with Musk. Deport the actual criminals.

Trumpy has to negotiate his release. How embarrassing for you maga maroons.

Yer boy Trumpy done screwed the pooch. Broke the law. Again. Like a convicted felon does.

Now he has to explain to the El Salvadorans and the world why he is an idiot. Wonder how much it will cost the American taxpayer this time?

But wasting taxpayer dollars and claiming he is saving money is what the Lyin King does.

Too bad so sad. Now GFY you anti-constitution anti-American POS.
