If the person was an actual US citizen, they wouldn’t be able to get them back? Now they were able to exchange an arms dealer for a pot smoking basketball player in Russia. Why can’t they do the same in Salvador?

I'm sure the US could get any of the people sent to El Salvador back if they asked. They are paying El Salvador to take and keep the people after all.
