El Salvador Offers Unprecedented Deal to Accept U.S. Deportees of Any Nationality
In a significant move, El Salvador has agreed to accept U.S. deportees, including American citizens and violent criminals, in an unprecedented deal announced by Senator Marco Rubio. This agreement allows El Salvador to house deported criminals in its jails, with specific emphasis on those considered dangerous. President Nayib Bukele has confirmed the offer, which has been framed as an effort to curb illegal immigration and manage the influx of migrants. As discussions continue, U.S. officials note that there are currently no plans to deport U.S. citizens, even as negotiations unfold regarding the potential for sending Venezuelan gang members and other migrants to El Salvador.
