Why can't they bring back the man who was sent to El Salvador by mistake? That dog killer was there

being photographed using the prisoners as her wallpaper. Can't she go again and ask for this person?

7. Because the US has no jurisdiction over foreign prisons and/or governments.

They can choose to release him, or not. We have no legal power to compel them to do so.

that we can't get all of them back. Trump paid, what, $8 million? to put them there. El Salvador has no vested personal interest in those people. Give them $8 million more to reverse the process. Money talks, bullsh*t walks. This "jurisdiction" argument is bullsh*t. We have the money to buy them back.
