Inmates Taunt, Scream at Members of Congress During Visit to El Salvador Mega-Prison

A bipartisan delegation of Republican and Democratic members of Congress was taunted and screamed at by inmates in the Tren de Aragua ward of El Salvador’s CECOT mega-prison last week.

The delegation – which included Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN), Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), and Rep. and Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) – was recorded by One America News (OAN) host and former congressman Matt Gaetz, capturing the loud reaction of the inmates President Donald Trump deported to the prison earlier this year.

While those incarcerated in the MS-13 ward were polite and respectful towards the members of Congress, the inmates in the Tren de Aragua ward – who are being given better treatment under President Trump’s $6 million prison deal with El Salvador – were caught on camera taunting, screaming, and making hand gestures at the representatives.

“What no other news organization has shown you until now is the specific ward at CECOT that holds the Venezuelan-based Tren de Aragua members President Trump deported. See if you can notice them reacting differently,” said Gaetz in his report on Monday, before playing a clip of the inmates shouting and taunting the representatives for several minutes.

For fake "badass" pics at this prison. That last pic of Gaetz is appalling. All he needs is the red swatstika armband.

in releasing this footage I'm guessing the message is supposed to be see how krasnov is making america great? when it's such a huge travesty and a scandal and a violation of so many laws?

... that picture doesn't make him look the least bit all fascist-ey or gestapo-ey, does it? But it does make his head look fat. Very fat. I wonder how he enjoyed the underage sex workers at San Salvador Downtown Sheraton.
