El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele plans to double the capacity of the world's largest prison to accommodate increasing numbers of deportees from the U.S. This expansion is part of a growing partnership between Bukele and the Trump administration, wherein Bukele has become a favorable destination for U.S. deportees. The current facility, established in 2023, was designed for Salvadoran gang members but now needs to hold more inmates. Trump and Bukele's discussions hint at future expansions and cooperation in managing federal inmates as well.
The homegrowns are next, he said. Noem confirmed Bukele has plans to double the size of the prison and has 80-plus acres to build on.
We've got space, Bukele responded when Trump suggested the prison needed expansion, indicating the willingness to accept more inmates including deportees.
