The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukelehe has agreed to receive in his Megacárcel to undocumented migrants arrested for serious crimes In the United States and has opened the door even to house US nationality prisoners. “No country has ever made a friendship offer like this,” said US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, after a three -hour meeting with Bukele, which is consolidated as well as the great regional ally of the new administration of Donald Trump
Rubio arrived on Monday to El Salvador as part of his Central American tour, the first he carries out as Secretary of State and with whom he seeks stop migratory flows that are directed to the north. One of its main objectives was to address with Bukele the possibility of closing an agreement, similar to that in Trump’s first mandate, to consider El Salvador as a Third Safe Countrywhich would allow the United States to deport migrants from other nationalities, such as Venezuelans.
After the meeting, Rubio announced that El Salvador will accept the deportation of undocumented migrants of any nationality that commit serious crimes, and gave as an example the alleged members of the Mara Salvatrucha (MS13) or the Venezuelan band of the Train of Aragua. And, in an unusual gesture, Bukele even offered to house in his prisons to Dangerous American prisonersboth those who have citizenship and those who have legal residence in the United States.
Rubio has described him as a “unprecedented migratory agreement And the most extraordinary of any part of the world “, while Bukele has detailed in social networks that the pact consists in accepting the entrance”Only convict criminals“, even with American nationality, in the famous maximum security prison of your country, called Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), where they comply with gang members.
According to the Salvadoran president, it is a kind of “Subcontracting” of prisonsince he would charge a rate to the United States which would facilitate the “prison system to be sustainable.” “The rate would be relatively low for the United States, but significant for us and would make our entire penitentiary system sustainable,” says its publication, retweeted by Elon Musk along with the message: “Great idea!”
Hours before, Bukele and Rubio went out to a balcony to observe the views of the Lake in front of the spectacular residence of the Salvadoran president, where they both gathered. That was where, to questions from the press, Bukele anticipated that there would be an “unprecedented” agreement. “It is a much greater agreement that is not preceded in the history of relations, not only of the United States with El Salvador, but I think that with all of Latin America,” he added.
Bukele, Trump’s great ally
Bukele is, next to the Argentine Javier Mileithe Latin American president most related to Donald Trump and, in fact, he was the first president of the region whom the Republican called after being invested. The Trump administration sees as an example the Bukele government security strategy, which has drastically reduced insecurity in the country with police and military hard measures criticized by human rights organizations.
The previous administration of Joe Biden criticized Bukele at the time to seek his re -election despite the constitutional prohibition, although then bilateral relations relaxed. The Salvadoran president explained this Monday before the press that he has never hidden his “sympathy” with Trump and, when he was cheered by someone who sailed along the lake, said laughing: “I have an 80%approval.”
The tuning and the relaxed atmosphere were much greater than what came off on Sunday of the meeting between Rubio with the Panamanian President, José Raúl Mulino, a meeting marked by Trump’s threats from Trump Recover control over the Panama Canal Because of the alleged Chinese influence on that way, despite the fact that this Central American country is also a fundamental partner for the United States in the immigration issue.
