Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said on Sunday he does not think the law would allow President Trump to send United States citizens convicted of violent crimes to Salvadoran prisons, despite the president’s suggestion that he might be open to that possibility.
“No, ma’am. Nor should it be considered appropriate or moral,” Kennedy told NBC News’s Kristen Welker when asked on “Meet the Press” whether he thinks such a move would be legal.
“We have our own laws,” he continued. “We have the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution. We shouldn’t send prisoners to foreign countries in my judgment.”
Trump, in a meeting Monday with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, indicated he would be open to sending American citizens who are violent criminals to El Salvador to be held in a notorious prison there. He told reporters that Attorney General Pam Bondi is looking into the law on the matter.

Shouldn't the person already elevated to AG know the law on that matter? JFC, this is the not-ready-for-prime-time-fuckups. 
and YOUR Senator!!!!! 
I remember when the two major candidates for governor were mob boos Edwards and Grand Wizard Duke.
I voted for the crook.
I loathe the malevolent.
I seek to expose and defeat them at each and every turn.
I'm in the newest blue district (one of two) which Y'all Qaeda incessantly seeks to eliminate.
It's no pretty picture I can tell ya' that.
None the less I refuse to let the fascist bastards steal my joie de vivre!
I and mine continue to do the next right thing within arms reach of our selves and embrace what we love.
Happy Monday to ya' BumRushDaShow!
Don't let the bastards get ya' down!
