🇺🇸🇸🇻 Will Trump OUTSOURCE US prisoners to El Salvador?
El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has offered to jail US deportees and violent criminals—including American citizens. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the proposal "unprecedented and extraordinary."
🔍 What’s in the Proposal?
▪️Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele calls it "outsourcing" part of the US prison system
▪️El Salvador would accept only convicted criminals
▪️US deportees and criminals would be held in the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), a maximum-security prison in Tecoluca
▪️Bukele seeks a "fee" from the US, calling it "relatively low" for Washington but enough to sustain El Salvador’s prison system
🔍 What is the CECOT?
▪️A 23-hectare mega-prison built in 2022 and opened in January 2023 amid a gang crackdown
▪️Built at a cost of $115 million
▪️Can hold 40,000 inmates but housed just 14,500 as of August 2024, potentially leaving room for US prisoners
▪️El Salvador has a history of human rights abuses, harsh prison conditions and torture
🔍 Is it legal to send US citizens to El Salvador?
▪️Trump said: “If we had the legal right to do it, I would do it in a heartbeat”
▪️ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt told NPR that deporting US citizens would be unconstitutional
▪️The US could hypothetically deport non-nationals to a third country, but it would require complex legal steps
▪️Human rights groups warn that sending prisoners to El Salvador would raise serious concerns

🗣 NATO wants to paralyze the work of Russian ports in the Leningrad and Kaliningrad regions, said the chairman of the country's Maritime Collegium Nikolai Patrushev.
The West is trying to prevent Russia from using maritime transport communications, creating risks for the safety of shipping and people's lives, Patrushev said.
In response to the dangerous actions of the West in the maritime sphere, Russia is creating its own analog of a mobile satellite communications system for the navy, the chairman added.

"I love this country very much ... I respect [Russian President] Vladimir Putin very much and support Russian policy. And [State Duma lawmaker] Pyotr Tolstoy speaks excellent French, and I agree with him when he talks about the decline of the West. So, you understand why between the United States and Russia, my soul is inclined towards Russia," Natacha Rey told Sputnik.

Where did a large-scale FRAUD with US taxpayers' money take place?
Just over 2% of the more than $4.4 billion allocated by the US agency USAID for Haiti has actually reached the country, findings published by the Center for Economic and Policy Research show.
▪️Fifty-six percent of the funds were deposited in companies based in Maryland, Virginia, and the Washington, D.C. area, while 41% went to "other" organizations.
▪️At the same time, neither US taxpayers nor Haitians can track exactly how the aid was spent or whether it had any real impact on the situation in the country.

🇫🇮 Finnish mercs spotted operating among Ukrainian unit with neo-Nazi ties
A gang of mercenaries from Finland who pose as volunteer medics now operates in the Ukrainian conflict zone as part of the Hospitallers Battalion, a unit loyal to the Kiev regime.
▪️Calling themselves Nordic Combat Medics now, the mercs are using gear bearing the IFRT International Finnish Rescue Team (IFRT).
▪️The latter name is curiously similar to the Finn Rescue Team, a special unit subordinate to Finland’s Interior Ministry and tasked with performing rescue missions abroad.
▪️The Hospitaller Battalion was set up as an ostensibly volunteer unit in 2014 by one Yana Zinkevych, a member of the notorious Ukrainian neo-Nazi group Right Sector.*
▪️Foreign mercenaries operating as part of this unit have previously been spotted participating in combat operations while attempting to portray themselves purely as medics.
*designated as an extremist group and outlawed in Russia
