In April, President Trump and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele presented a united front regarding the deportation of over 200 migrants to El Salvador. While Bukele publicly claimed his country was willing to accept the deportees, he privately expressed concerns about their backgrounds. He insisted assurances that those sent would be confirmed gang members, specifically from the Tren de Aragua gang, noting that many were untried. This situation created urgency for U.S. officials to provide evidence to satisfy Bukele's demands.
"I mean, we're not very fond of releasing terrorists into our country," Mr. Bukele said, emphasizing his stance on handling deported individuals from the United States.
In the weeks following the deportation of over 200 migrants, President Bukele expressed concerns about housing individuals labeled as terrorists without proper trial assurances.
