The round-up and imprisonment of gang members in El Salvador is credited with drastic reductions in crime in that country. But no one should be placed in a maximum security prison -- let alone the CECOT prison in El Salvador -- without due process and without having been convicted of a violent crime.

For the Administration to say they cannot do anything to correct this mistake is a lie. Everyone knows that the Secretary of State could retrieve anyone mistakenly sent from the US to that prison, by simply making a request to the El Salvadoran government. But for that to happen, the Secretary of State would have to be honorable. That's the catch.
