The Central American country Al Salvador offered to keep the US violent criminals and illegal immigrants in their country, which has been accepted by the US Secretary of State. Al Salvador President Naib Bukele made this proposal to the US Secretary of State on Monday.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has praised the proposal of Boukele. Rubio said that any criminal living illegally in America, irrespective of any country, will keep them in their jails. No country had earlier made such offer. We are very happy with this agreement.
The agreement has been praised by the Trump administration and the President’s colleagues. Tesla Chief Ellon Musk described the agreement as a great idea in a post on X. However, human rights organizations have condemned the move.

Human rights organizations criticized Roman Palomars, the National President of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULC), said that we oppose the fact that non-criminal detained people behave like cattle. They should be sent anywhere regardless of sending them to their original country.
At the same time, Professor Manisha Gayleman of Emeron College told CNN that America is basically planning to send people to a country which is neither her birthplace nor the country from whom she had passed. Manuel Flores, General Secretary of the Left Frabundo Marati National Liberation Front (FMLN) party of Al Salvador, also criticized the decision, saying what are we? Heap of trash?
Jail keeping 40 thousand prisoners in Al Salvador A jail was constructed in January 2023 at Al Salvador. Its name is a terrorist captive center also known as Cecot. It is one of the largest prisons in the world. More than 40 thousand prisoners can be kept in it.
Bukele said that he would take a nominal money in this jail and keep the dangerous prisoners of America. This will benefit both countries. Bukele has also posted pictures of this jail on social media. Many prisoners and guards are seen in it.

Bukele reduced the crime rate in Al Slwador Bukele is credited with reducing crime in Al Salvador. He contested the presidential election in the name of ending the crime in 2019. A year after winning the election, he ended the constitutional rights of the people in the country and increased the strength of the court. This led to a 50% decline in crime rate.
However, the buckle was then accused of compromising between the Criminal Gang. However, in March 2022, there was an incident that forced the bouquet to strictly crush the crime. In fact, a street gang killed more than 60 people in a few hours.
The claim of stopping the crime of the bouquet was very bad. He then announced the State of Emergency. The distinction between suspected criminals and convicted accused was abolished. Since then, about 85 thousand people in the country have been transformed into jail.
Boukele claims that his move has reduced violence in the country significantly. In the year 2024, only 114 people have been killed. A year ago this figure was 2014. In 2015, 6,656 people were killed across the country. In 2024, he has won twice in 2024 on the claim of reducing the crime. He received the support of 85% of the voters.
