Big Something – 10/22/22 – Buffalo, NY [FULL SHOW]

President Donald Trump's attorney general appeared to rebuff an opportunity to endorse her boss's recent idea to send Americans convicted of violent crimes to prisons in El Salvador.

Trump reiterated the idea on Monday during an Oval Office meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, in which Trump told reporters, "homegrowns are next," referring to U.S. citizens.

"Homegrown criminals are next," Trump told Bukele. "I said homegrowns are next, homegrowns are next. You've got to build about five more places. It's not big enough."

Trump clarified he was focusing on "violent offenders" and signaled that his administration is looking into the legality to determine if such deportations are possible.

The eye-popping suggestion became the topic of discussion on Fox News' "Jesse Watters Primetime." Watters asked Bondi about Trump's idea to incarcerate U.S. citizens overseas. But she didn't seem to endorse the plan.

"The president was musing about sending some of the most horrible people in this country down to that mega prison," said Watters, later asking, "Is that legal to do? Is that something you're allowed to do?"

"Well Jesse, these are Americans that he's saying committed the most heinous crimes in our country. Crime is going to decrease dramatically because he has given us a directive to make America safe again. These people need to be locked up as long as they can, as long as the law allows. We're not going to let them go anywhere. If we have to build more prisons in our country, we will do it."

"Right," Watters replied with a chuckle. "That's what I thought."
