[struggle4progress]

During a visit to El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) claimed that it's vice president told him the Trump administration is financially compensating the country to continue detaining Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia at CECOT ...

1. I'd like to know what congressional allocation these funds are coming out of. I wonder

if it’s even legal.

3. THANK YOU

I have been wondering where the HELL the $$$ are coming from, since it was first mentioned.

2. EL Salvador has not confirmed this

The government has not publicly commented on this matter. The way the president sided with Trump, I find it hard to believe his VP would say this to the senator. Think about it

4. The ES president had a slimy sneer and wide grin during the entire Oval Office meeting.

Of course Trump is paying him a huge sum of money.
Or some sort of compensation.

The VP is telling him the truth.

[Tickle]

5. No doubt. I would just

like to see if he admits it.

7. Most of what they are doing is illegal.

Stuff we may never learn about.

But yes I wish some of the truth at least would come out.

9. Van Hollen said that on RAchel today.

10. Van Hollen said that the VP directly told him this. What more official word would Xinis want than

that of a sitting U.S. senator. The VP told Van Hollen that Bukele is out of the country, so of course, El Salvador's VP is speaking officially

It's also public knowledge, publicly confirmed, that Trump has a contract with this president to use CECOT. .

6. Of course US is paying El Salavador to hold them, that's why they won't buck trump. If trump wants

him returned, they’ll return him.

8. That's nothing new.

The very first reports included the fact that Trump is paying $6 million to imprison the deportees for a year.
