LONDON — Nigel Farage announced Monday that any future Reform UK government would try to send prisoners overseas to complete their sentences — including to El Salvador.

The Reform UK leader said the plan, which echoes one of U.S. President Donald Trump’s own hardline policies, would see up to 10,000 “serious” prisoners serve their time abroad in countries like Kosovo or Estonia. The governing Labour Party dismissed it as mere “headline-chasing.”

Farage’s right-wing party — which is leading the government in the polls — promised “dynamic” prison places abroad, with the British government renting cells in third countries.

“We would consider multiple partners including El Salvador,” documents accompanying the party’s crime policy launch said. Reform argues that pulling Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights would remove a key barrier to this plan.

“We can send some of our worst violent criminals overseas to serve their terms,” said Farage at a press conference to launch the proposal. “If that means that [child murderer] Ian Huntley goes to El Salvador … our attitude is so be it.”

In March, the Trump administration invoked the U.S. Alien Enemies Act to deport dozens of Venezuelan immigrants to El Salvador. They were detained in a notorious mega-prison used for the country’s most dangerous criminals. Some could now be headed back to the U.S. to face immigration proceedings.

The Reform UK leader admitted El Salvador as a destination for British prisoners was an “extreme example.” Brits would not be sent there if “in danger of their lives,” he said.

But his comments came in a wide-ranging speech on crime and perceived “lawlessness” in Britain. Reform are launching a six-week campaign calling for more police officers and prison places as well as faster processes for arresting people and getting them through the U.K.’s justice system.

Farage claimed inspiration from Rudy Giuliani’s tenure as mayor of New York City, citing his “broken windows” theory, where lower level crime was targeted in a bid to deter more severe criminal activity.

“We are borrowing from the Giuliani playbook unashamedly,” said Farage. “What Rudy Giuliani did to New York in the 1990s was nothing short of a blooming miracle.”

Farage claimed people in London didn’t understand “how close we are to civil disobedience on a vast scale” after rioting outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in the eastern England town of Epping in recent days.

 “The public deserves better than ill-thought through slogans and unfunded policy commitments,” said Labour Chair Ellie Reeves.
