We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can't be challenged. Just trust us.

Rubio’s position seems to be:
- We get to say who is a terrorist. Our decision is final. It can’t be challenged. Just trust us.
- Once we decide you are a terrorist, we can immediately deport you. No judges.
- After we deport you, we can make you rot in a foreign prison. No criminal charges needed.

On Hugh Hewitt’s show, Marco Rubio says El Salvador is “housing” people sent by the US. But he never says on what possible legal authority? These people haven’t committed any crime in El Salvador and by their own admission “many” have never committed a crime in the US. It all seems entirely lawless.
And then we have Tren de Aragua, organized gang members and alien enemies inside the United States who are being housed by him in an excellent prison system that he has at a fraction of the cost of what it would cost to house them here in the United States. It is a matter that we've made. It's a foreign policy matter. And it's one that we weren't going to go back on, because we make arrangements with foreign leaders. That's the conduct of foreign policy. We can't have judges running the foreign policy.
