El Salvador has offered to detain U.S. criminals and deportees in its prisons, as part of an agreement with the United States. This move is aimed at supporting the U.S. in its efforts to deport dangerous criminals, including members of notorious gangs like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua ¹ ² ³.
El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has proposed housing these individuals in the country's mega-prison, known as the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), which has a capacity for up to 40,000 inmates ⁴. The U.S. would pay a fee to El Salvador for detaining these individuals, which would help sustain the country's prison system ¹ ⁴.
However, this agreement has raised concerns about human rights and the treatment of prisoners in El Salvador's prisons, which have been described as "harsh and dangerous" by the U.S. State Department ¹.
