Excerpt
El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, has offered to accept deportees of any nationality from the US, including US citizens.
US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said late on Monday that Bukele "has agreed to the most unprecedented and extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world."
Rubio described the agreement as a "safe third country" deal to deport citizens who have violated US immigration laws. It would mean the US could deport non-Salvadorean migrants to El Salvador.
"He's also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving their sentence in the United States even though they’re US citizens or legal residents," Rubio said.
Bukele confirmed the offer in a post on X, saying El Salvador has “offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system.” He said his country would accept only “convicted criminals” and would charge a fee that “would be relatively low for the US but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable.”
