There have been a number of attacks targeting Tesla vehicles and dealerships in the last few weeks.

President Donald Trump has suggested sending people who are attacking Tesla to prisons in El Salvador if they are convicted of crimes, as a number of the automaker’s vehicles and showrooms have been targeted by reported arson and other violence.

Trump’s comments appear to be referencing a deal his administration made with El Salvador to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members from the U.S. to serve out their jail time. Rights groups have criticized the deal, citing harsh conditions in Salvadoran prisons.

    So foreigners don’t have constitutional rights like citizens, they only have civil rights, and that’s the legal loophole the admin is using to justify this El Salvador deal. Actually doing this to a citizen would be wildly unconstitutional. I am not saying they won’t try, but if they do try AND succeed, well it’s time to do those things that have to be done when tyrants void the rule of law.
