Trump’s Deportation Policy: El Salvador’s President Sees Opportunity
El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has become a key ally in the Trump administration’s deportation strategy, emerging as a powerful figure in the region. Recently, the U.S. deported hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador, sending them straight to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).
Bukele shared a dramatic video showing the deportees being marched into the high-security prison. In the video, he taunted a U.S. judge who had tried to block the flights. Former President Donald Trump praised Bukele’s actions, publicly thanking him, saying, “We will not forget!”
Key Developments:
🔹 Mass Deportation: The U.S. sent 238 members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and 23 MS-13 members to El Salvador.
🔹 Financial Deal: In exchange for accepting the deportees, the U.S. agreed to pay $6 million to El Salvador.
Bukele’s approach to crime and immigration has raised his profile globally, with some calling him Latin America’s most influential leader. However, human rights organizations remain concerned about his administration’s mass arrests and lack of due process.
