    I know we’re largely focused on stopping Trump, and we need to.

    But how do we save these guys?

      The courts might be able to stop future renditions, but the president or Congress have the power to end this or return them. Congress could cut off the funding (bribes) to El Salvador or president could force them to release people.

          Yes. But it would be a violation of international law, so they should not be willing.

          If the matter somehow transforms to obtaining the assistance of El Salvador in this case, a credible proposal of EU economic sanctions would hasten a compromise.

          To be honest, I’m not fully understanding why El Salvador accepted those people from the US.

          Most countries would be able to take El Salvador on in a head-on-head fight.

          Now, which ones can do so, if the US is backing the dictatorship there? That’s a big question.

        That is not how NATO works or what it is

        Not saying we shouldn’t try to free political undesirable prisoners, just saying that that is not what NATO is for, won’t happen
