Joe Rogan may very well be the reason President Donald Trump was elected to a second term in 2024.

His endorsement swayed many independents to vote for Trump, but now he has split with the president over the policy of mass deportations to a prison in El Salvador that has earned the nickname "Hell on Earth."

Specifically, Rogan's opposition to the move by Trump came after it was revealed that an administrative error could have sent some prisoners there even though they have not committed criminal acts.

Rogan's reaction came after a report in Time Magazine that a gay hairdresser with crown tattoos symbolizing Three Kings Day celebrations was deported to El Salvador's CECOT prison, where prisoners have their heads shaved and never get to go outside.

"It's horrific"

"It's horrific," he said. "You got to get scared that people who are not criminals are getting, like, lassoed up and deported and sent to, like, El Salvador prisons."

"This is kind of crazy that that could be possible. That's horrific. And that's, again, that's bad for the cause," he added.

"The cause is: Let's get the gang members out. Everybody agrees. But let's not, innocent gay hairdressers, get lumped up with the gangs," he argued.

Andry Hernandez said he crossed the border to escape persecution for his sexual orientation.

Rogan continued: "How long before that guy can get out? Can we figure out how to get them out? Is there any plan in place to alert the authorities that they've made a horrible mistake and correct it?"

He expressed disappointment in the current political climate of "never admit your fault. Never admit you're wrong."

Another error

The Trump administration has acknowledged another erroneous deportation of a 29-year-old sheet metal worker who is married to an American woman and has children with her, according to the Associated Press.

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia has lawyers advocating for his return to the U.S., but the Trump administration continues to claim that he has gang ties even though there's no evidence to show that he is gang-affiliated or a "danger to the community" as it claims.

The administration also said they no longer have jurisdiction over Garcia now that he has been deported.

Lawyers admit that the U.S. cannot compel El Salvador to send Garcia back to the U.S., but they would like the question to be asked.

There has to be a way to make these kinds of mistakes right, or justice will not be done properly under this administration.
