\u201cWe would consider multiple partners including El Salvador,\u201d documents accompanying the party\u2019s crime policy launch said. Reform argues that pulling Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights would remove a key barrier to this plan.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can send some of our worst violent criminals overseas to serve their terms,\u201d said Farage at a press conference to launch the proposal. \u201cIf that means that [child murderer] Ian Huntley goes to El Salvador \u2026 our attitude is so be it.\u201d<\/p>\n
In March, the Trump administration invoked the U.S. Alien Enemies Act\u00a0to deport dozens of Venezuelan immigrants<\/a>\u00a0to El Salvador. They were detained in a notorious mega-prison used for the country\u2019s most dangerous criminals. Some could now be headed back to the U.S.<\/a> to face immigration proceedings.<\/p>\n The Reform UK leader admitted El Salvador as a destination for British prisoners was an \u201cextreme example.\u201d Brits would not be sent there if \u201cin danger of their lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n But his comments came in a wide-ranging speech on crime and perceived \u201clawlessness\u201d in Britain. Reform are launching a six-week campaign calling for more police officers and prison places as well as faster processes for arresting people and getting them through the U.K.\u2019s justice system.<\/p>\n Farage claimed inspiration from Rudy Giuliani\u2019s tenure as mayor of New York City, citing his \u201cbroken windows\u201d theory, where lower level crime was targeted in a bid to deter more severe criminal activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cWe would consider multiple partners including El Salvador,\u201d documents accompanying the party\u2019s crime policy launch said.
