Each CECOT mega-prison can hold up to 40,000 inmates. Multiply that by five—plus the original—and you’re talking about roughly 240,000 U.S. citizens Trump envisions exiling into authoritarian custody.
This isn’t offhand rhetoric.
It’s logistics.

PS: Trump telling Bukele he needs to build “about five more” CECOT-style prisons for homegrowns—meaning American-born citizens—implies something horrifying:
He already has the list.

Trump’s bragging about an era with no income tax and tariff-based revenue — but tariffs are just stealth taxes. The costs get passed on to poor consumers, while the rich paid substantially nothing. That’s not strength — it’s exploitation.

“To this day, the Government has cited no basis in law for Abrego Garcia’s warrantless arrest, his removal to El Salvador, or his con- confinement in a Salvadoran prison. Nor could it.”

He was a legal refugee in the US, he also had a federal court order prohibiting him from being deported back to El Salvador where he faced a rational fear which is the basis of political asylum. Are you sure you are on the right network? X is that way >>>----->

We must speak plainly:
• Targeting trans people is genocide.
• Exporting U.S. citizens to foreign torture camps is a constitutional collapse—and a crime against humanity in the making.
• And Donald Trump has already begun both.
We cannot look away.
We cannot wait.

This is a president defying a 9–0 Supreme Court ruling, openly plotting to strip American citizens of their constitutional rights, and conspiring to exile them to foreign authoritarian prison camps—with the encouragement of a foreign dictator.
It is the literal dismantling of the rule of law.

The public is tested with each new outrage. If no one stops it, the circle of victims widens.
History doesn’t always repeat, but it rhymes.

Now, Trump is laying the foundation to exile Americans who don’t fit his vision of the nation—and let’s be honest: trans people would be first in line.
So when Trump says “homegrowns are next,” trans people know exactly what that means.
He’s already done it once. He’s promising to do it again.

Teachers are being threatened with prosecution for respecting a trans student’s name. Nonprofits are closing programs for fear of state retaliation. Healthcare providers are facing bans under executive orders. And every new law signals that something worse is coming.

At least 27 states have passed laws banning gender-affirming care for minors.
This is a genocide on a national scale.
It is designed to dismantle recognition, destroy access to care, criminalize support systems, and drive us out of public life entirely.

In just the past year, over 500 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced across the United States—more than 130 of them targeting transgender healthcare alone. As of early 2025, 120 new anti-trans bills have already been filed across 13 states, a 150% increase from the year before.

For years, the far right has:
• Dehumanized us—calling us predators, threats, mentally ill, or “not real”
• Banned our healthcare
• Criminalized our identities
• Platformed voices openly calling for our eradication
And now, they’ve escalated that campaign into law.

It’s a roadmap to dictatorship—a trial balloon for mass exile without trial, built on the same authoritarian logic that led to García’s unlawful deportation.

The “Pam” he referred to is Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General and longtime Trump ally. Her presence wasn’t incidental—it was strategic. Trump wasn’t spitballing policy; he was issuing direction to legal counsel to find a way to make this plan happen.

“Homegrowns,” in Trump’s own words, means American citizens. He confirmed in that same meeting that he is exploring the legal feasibility of deporting U.S.-born individuals to Bukele’s prison camps.
He added:
