Summary

Donald Trump threatened to send American citizens convicted of vandalizing Tesla vehicles to El Salvador’s infamous Terrorism Confinement Center, labeling the vandals as “sick terrorist thugs” deserving 20-year sentences.

This statement followed a major vandalism incident in Ontario, Canada, where around 80 Tesla cars were damaged.

Trump’s comments coincide with controversy over his use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants, halted by a court order.

The White House defended the deportation despite legal challenges, denying any violation of the court’s injunction.
