President Donald Trump on Friday mused about sending American citizens who allegedly vandalized Tesla cars and charging stations to an infamous prison in El Salvador where he has already shipped purported Venezuelan gang members.
Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump gloated about capturing the alleged Tesla vandals and fantasized about them being on the receiving end of gruesome punishments.
"I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla. Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!" Trump wrote.

In fact, the prison in El Salvador is notorious for its poor conditions.
As a recent article in Foreign Policy explained this week, "human rights organizations have gathered credible evidence of systematic corruption, torture, and killings" at the jail.
Additionally, it is unclear if Trump could legally outsource the imprisonment of American citizens to a foreign nation.
