In mid-April, President Trump and President Bukele of El Salvador announced a partnership focused on fighting crime. This included an agreement for El Salvador to imprison Venezuelan immigrants labeled as criminals, and to send back MS-13 gang members. Bukele’s administration has been marked by a crackdown on MS-13, resulting in significant imprisonment rates that have improved security in El Salvador, though his tactics are criticized by human rights organizations. Investigations into Bukele’s administration suggest possible collusion with MS-13, raising questions about his methods and the integrity of his anti-crime policies.
El Salvador has agreed to incarcerate Venezuelan immigrants labeled as violent criminals by the Trump administration, despite few having been convicted of such crimes.
Despite facing criticism from human rights groups, Bukele's popularity remains high as he continues his crackdown on gang violence in El Salvador.
