Lovely stance... Also, the headline question is if it's safe to travel there.

Being denied entry is not a threat to your safety.
Illegally being sent to a hellish Salvadoran prison without due process sure is.

That depends what happens between being denied and getting back into a plane. Also, the current situation is not a guarantee for the future.
The Canadian woman who had her visa revoked for no reason was subsequently incarcerated under deplorable conditions and denied access to council. If I recall correctly they held her for two weeks. In batch holding without proper clothing or heat and with 24hour lighting which I believe has been previously classified as torture.

Sounds pretty unsafe to me.

Safety is not just physical violence. The threat of violence (including incarceration) is enough to make a place unsafe.
Prosecution is not Persecution. Fugitives are not refugees.
