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.
Yeah this “proposal” violates literally everything about the Constitution.
This is just exile but with more words, which is not allowed under the immunities clause of the US Constitution.
Every person has rights to exercise due process within the several states, exile explicitly removes this.
Trump doesn’t give a shit about the Constitution. He makes the rules. Checks and Balances? The only way that resonates with him is the checks he receives and his bank balances increasing.
He will take every inch given to him.
And just to be clear, I don’t disagree with anything you said.
The what? Look, you can’t just make up words.
