US EditionNoem to Tour El Salvador Prison Housing Migrants the US Deported
- On March 15, 2025, the United States deported 238 Venezuelans who were in the middle of a judicial process without transfer orders to El Salvador, where they are being held at the Terrorism Confinement Center , located about 70 kilometers from San Salvador.
- The deportations and subsequent detention in El Cecot, considered the largest prison in America with a capacity for 40,000 inmates, stems from agreements between the U.S. And El Salvador, with Salvadoran authorities slated to receive US$6 million.
- The Bukele government asserts that Cecot houses gang members like Mara Salvatrucha MS13 and Barrio 18, convicted of serious crimes, and that the penitentiary system complies with security and order standards while respecting human rights without distinction of nationality.
