President Donald Trump has posted a video of El Salvador's maximum-security prison, defending his administration's deportation policy and claiming it has contributed to a drop in crime rates across the United States. The video, shared on X, depicts the facility known as the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, in Tecoluca, El Salvador.
Trump described the prison as the destination for individuals his administration views as dangerous criminals, including drug dealers and thugs. He claimed this is why murder and other crimes in America are at record lows.
Trump's post comes as his administration continues to deport migrants it identifies as potential threats to the United States, including sending some deportees to El Salvador through arrangements with the country's government. Trump boasted about his loyal supporters, saying, "You'd clap even if I said stupid things."
