It's one of the reasons I visited that prison, was to talk to President Bukele, ask him not only— You know how he had fundamentally changed the future of his country, because if you think about what the transformation that has happened in El Salvador since he's been president, it's phenomenal. He's got one of the lowest murder rates in the world.

Yes, it's incredible what he has done. And he's done it through leadership and consequences. And that prison President Trump wanted people to see, to know that it could be a real consequence for those that are members of foreign terrorist organizations. And that these gangs, MS-13 and TDA, are terrorists. They have been conducting terrorist operations in this country and they need to get out.

And I think people, you know, people have their criticisms, but it makes a big impact and people see it. And they recognize that that's possible for those individuals that are doing what the things that those men in those cells raped children. Yeah, they were child pedophiles. They were murderers. They weren't people that were out there, you know, getting speeding tickets.

Well, you know, Seacott is a prison that will hold 40,000 prisoners. There's about 80 prisoners in each cell. I spent a lot of time with the warden and the president talking about it, and they just said nobody will ever leave there. They will live there until they die of natural causes. It is a life sentence that they will spend there, and he wants to build another prison.

You know, he had MS-13 overtaking his country. And so he went hard after them. And he said, if you don't get aggressive in the United States, you will have that happen in America. And we do have some MS-13 members now in the United States that were born here. They're citizens.

So that gets even more complicated and why we need to get so aggressive at getting them out and having them returned back to their home country before they get a foothold and recruit more of our children.
