U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele have finalized a historic agreement to deport detained migrants and imprisoned individuals, including potentially U.S. citizens. Bukele claims the deal serves as a release valve for U.S. prisons and proposes to house these individuals in El Salvador’s CECOT, a newly opened mega-prison notorious for harsh conditions. While the offer has sparked excitement about reducing crime in the U.S., legal experts warn that deporting American citizens poses significant constitutional challenges. Many human rights organizations criticize El Salvador's overcrowded prison system and the crackdown on gang violence.
