Even assuming they recognize you citizenship and doesn’t outright try to (unlawfully) deport you, they could still seize your belongings, detain you for 48 hours, and potentially add you on a no-fly list. The executive branch actually has the authority to do those things, its just that past administrations weren’t this insane.
Technically it is separate, but I would suggest it is very related.
Due process is not getting provided to deportees. We already know for a fact one of the people sent shouldn’t have been, and no attempts to rectify the issue are being made.
The message that was being sent even before that, but more so now, seems clear to me. That message is that anyone can be disappeared, for any reason, and it doesn’t matter if the person in question did anything wrong.
That’s why I was suggesting poking this particular badger is unwise, citizen or not.
I guess the narrative is that the US (the most powerful country in the world) cannot compel El Salvador (the country they are paying) to release the prisoners they sent there.
They can, however, refuse entry.

Not to a US citizen.
For others, may as well bring a phone that’s specific for traveling that doesn’t have anything on it. Maybe even a dumb phone.

Better to just get a burner phone for traveling.
I’m so old, I remember a time when people left home without a phone at all.
Good luck arguing THAT point from the El Salvador concentration camp.
That’s a separate problem, as far as I’m aware.
