You know how we were sending migrants, many of whom were not criminals at all, to that concentration camp in El Salvador, right?

That barber from Venezuela, the gay barber went there.
There were a lot of innocent people who ended up going there, getting brutally sexually assaulted, attacked, violently beaten, beaten.
So how was that deal made between Donald Trump and the dictator of El Salvador, Bukele?
Well, they have the exclusive details here in the Washington Post.
So El Salvador's President Bukele demanded the U.S.
hand over nine MS-13 leaders to
in exchange for access to Bukele's prison.
During a March phone call with Bukele, Marco Rubio noted a problem.
Some of these men were informants to the US and under US protection, officials said.
To deport them, Attorney General Pam Bondi would need to terminate the DOJ's arrangement with these men, Rubio said.
He assured Bukele that Bondi would complete that process.
and the U.S.
would hand over the MS-13 leaders.
In promising to terminate the arrangements, current and former Justice Department officials say Rubio threatened to undercut years, perhaps decades, of work by U.S.
law enforcement to apprehend and secure the cooperation of high-ranking members of MS-13, one of the world's most deadly gangs.

To build cases against high-level criminals, officials said.
