Let's flip that around and ask why he should be sent to a foreign prison.
What crime is he accused of committing, and who is the victim? How does sending him to a foreign prison bring justice? He apparently followed "proper procedures," but the government trampled them.
Rights are not based on geography, they are based on being a human. The Bill of Rights does not grant privileges to the citizenry, it erects barriers to governmental overreach.

That's a potentially interesting discussion or line of inquiry. IE - what was the intent of the Bill of Rights, I'll do some legwork on that, and return for some discussion.
Arguably the entire purpose of the Constitution was for benefit of the people who drafted and ratified it, along with their posterity. Negative rights, or "freedoms from" are certainly an element of it.

Check out the antifederalist papers.
I'm not very clear as to why he is in a El Salvador prison. What crime did he commit there? I can't find any.
