This week on Whatever Happens, Happens, we investigate the U.S. government’s shocking proposal to build a high-speed rail line from Texas to El Salvador—exclusively for so-called “enemies of the state.” Former President Trump calls it the “most efficient deportation system ever,” using modified cattle cars to transport alleged criminals, agitators, and political opponents to a one-way fate. But what happens when they arrive?

We trace the historical roots of forced relocation, examine El Salvador’s capacity to handle such an influx, and speak with legal experts, human rights advocates, and Central American policy analysts about the chilling implications.
