Deep dives

U.S.-El Salvador Relations and Immigration Policy

El Salvador's President, Naib Bukele, expressed his stance against the return of an illegal alien deported from the U.S., emphasizing the transformation of his country from the 'murder capital of the world' to a safe region. Bukele's comments came during a White House meeting with President Trump, where both leaders pushed back against media narratives about releasing criminals into El Salvador. The Supreme Court recently ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation was improper, citing previous judicial orders; however, officials maintain that Garcia belongs in El Salvador due to his ties with MS-13. This incident highlights ongoing tensions and complexities surrounding immigration policies and U.S.-El Salvador relations, particularly concerning violent deportees and regional security collaborations.
