Zoe Alexandra, Editor of Peoples Dispatch, joins to discuss the Trump administration’s deportation of over 250 Venezuelan migrants to a notoriously torturous mega-prison in El Salvador, after paying $6 million to President Nayib Bukele.

Forcibly removed from the country and stripped of due process, Alexandra explains the politics behind the inhumane policy.
