What the hell took so long to find him. These people are incompetent.

If you listen to the senator’s interview before he eventually got to interview the captive, El Salvadoran solders stopped him 3km outside of the prison and said they have orders not to let the him in. Senator meet with the VP of El Salvador who admitted that they are paid by trump administration to prison those trump sends. It’s not incompetence

wait so el salvador isnt getting their money and is just jailing them out of the goodness of their hearts? why wouldn't they just refuse to take us prisoners without immediate payment?

no surprising tho, trump isn't exactly known for paying his bills

I said that they are being paid so i don’t know why you’re saying the opposite

Wait, is payment actually happening or did the VP count his chickens early?
