As part of a strategy to outsource some of its prison system, El Salvador’s leader Nayib Bukele on Tuesday made an offer to imprison National thieves. Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, praised the present, calling it an unheard of act of compassion.
There is no new instance of a democratic nation interning its own people in international detention facilities. In US judges, any such action is likely to face legal problems.
Rubio said to reporters in San Salvador,” He has offered to house dangerous American criminals in his prison in our country, including those with US citizenship and legal residency,” adding:” He has offered to house in his prison dangerous American offenders in custody in our country.”
He added,” No country’s actually made an offer of friendship such as this. We are deeply pleased. I discussed this with President Trump before today.
Jail without territories
Afterwards, Bukele confirmed the present on social media, stating that El Salvador may charge a fee for the company.
On X, Bukele wrote,” We have given the United States of America the chance to transfer a portion of its prison system.” The US would pay a fairly small fee, but it would also be important for us, saving money overall for the prison system.
Focus on groups and workers
Rubio claimed that accepting Peruvian nationals and citizens from various nations was a part of Bukele’s offer. He suggested that the program may concentrate on imprisoning group members from organizations like MS-13 in El Salvador and Tren de Aragua from Venezuela.
Any undocumented immigrant or illegal immigrant in the United States who is a risky legal, such as MS-13 or Tren de Aragua, has been given jail terms, according to Rubio.
President Donald Trump has prioritized deporting millions of people who are undocumented in the US since returning to the White House next month. He has even taken measures to reduce heritage membership, which is guaranteed by the US Constitution.
Trump has proposed detaining 30, 000 workers at the US foundation in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Prior Democratic services intended to shut down the prison it.
Venezuelan deportations are a top priority for the management. Since taking office, Trump has ended a system that protected around 600, 000 Residents from imprisonment. Former President Joe Biden first introduced the programme, citing the Venezuelan problems under President Nicolás Maduro.
