More than 100 of the migrants were Venezuelans eliminated by Title 8, while another 21 were members of MS-13 saving gangs, the official added. Two were MS-13 and “special cases” leaders for El Salvador.

The video published by the Government of El Salvador after the arrival of the deportees showed men, chained in their hands and ankles, leaving the airplanes to an airport aligned by officers strongly armed with riot equipment.
Later, the men were kneeling on the ground when their heads shaved before they changed to the totally white uniform of the prison (shorts to the knee, shirt, socks and rubber clogs) and placed in cells.

El Salvador has been operating under an emergency state that suspends fundamental rights for almost three years, since Bukele deals with street gangs. Some 84,000 people have been arrested so far, accused of gang ties and imprisoned, often without due process.
Bukele offered to keep us deported in prison when the United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio visited in February.
