Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal: Washington Post
Marco Rubio's March 2025 deal returned nine MS-13 informants to El Salvador's CECOT prison, risking informant safety and disrupting U.S. investigations, officials said.
- The Trump administration condemned U.S. informants to El Salvador's dangerous CECOT prison as part of a deal with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, according to The Washington Post.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio arranged the deal with Bukele on a March 13 phone call and instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to end U.S. relations with the informants.
- Douglas Farah stated that the deal represents a deep betrayal of U.S. law enforcement agents who risked their lives, a sentiment echoed by other officials speaking anonymously to The Washington Post.
- Critics claim this agreement undermines trust in U.S. law enforcement and raises ethical questions about informant safety against political objectives, as stated in The Washington Post.
