El Salvador Is Reaping Rewards From Trump’s Agenda

“For the U.S. government, sending deportees accused of being gang members to a prison in El Salvador fits with President Trump’s promise to aggressively deport undocumented migrants and to crack down on crime,” the New York Times reports.

“For El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, the rewards appear to have included, among other things, a White House visit and a travel-safety rating for his country that is higher than France’s.”

“While the exact terms of the agreement have not been made public, other leaders around the world may be watching, experts and immigration lawyers say, especially as the Trump administration searches for other countries willing to take expelled migrants of other nationalities.”
