Does anyone in congress or federal court claim to have read over F47's rendition contract with El Salvador?

Seems like something that would have to go through an appropriations process, as it presumably requires taxpayer contribution. Even if it's not available for general public review, surely some congress critters would want to know more about it. Does said contract include any provision for return or release of prisoners? If not, it's basically Auschwitz with extra steps. IMHO this is something that should be available to We The People for further consideration. Raises the question: who can read it and who has read it?

Didn't slobby admit to paying 6 mill for one year, just for the first 300 sent? SheltieLover Apr 2025 #1
That's the figure I see cited in articles, but wouldn't it be nice to see the contract to ascertain our total liability? 0rganism Apr 2025 #2

Ya know, seeing as how we're gonna be on the hook for it and all. I'd like to see what other clauses are in this "contract" too, especially considering how much of a thrill F47 gets from stiffing contractors. Not like the deportation/imprisonment thing is secret by now, anyway. But I never see anyone in the press ask to see the actual contract or report what exactly is in it. Everything about this agreement seems intentionally vague and nebulous.

Guessing none of the lawyers or judges have asked for it?

Likely invalid as it is clearly based upon illegal tenets.
