Summary
Donald Trump suggested deporting violent repeat American offenders to foreign countries willing to incarcerate them for a small fee.
The proposal, shared at a Republican retreat in Florida, has no legal precedent in the U.S. and would require new legislation.
Critics cite constitutional concerns, including the Eighth Amendment that prohibits “cruel and unusual punishments.”
The idea follows Trump’s broader crackdown on illegal immigration, which a recent poll shows has significant bipartisan support.
Next step: defining trans people as criminals
Florida has been trying (via the “child abuser” route) as a way to get us the death penalty
There’s already another plan for trans folk. They’ll claim it’s a mental illness and send them to RFK’s “wellness camps” to replace some of the migrant workers they’re deporting.
