President Bukele even offered to house criminals with legal residency in the United States.
On Monday, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele agreed to allow the United States to deport undocumented migrants who commit serious crimes to his country and also offered his prisons to house dangerous U.S. criminals currently incarcerated.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made this announcement after a three-hour meeting with Bukele at the Salvadoran president’s estate on Lake Coatepeque.
During the meeting, they agreed that El Salvador would accept “the deportation of illegal foreigners in the United States who are criminals of any nationality, whether they belong to MS-13 or Tren de Aragua, and house them in its prisons.”
However, Rubio also surprised many by explaining that Bukele even offered to “house dangerous U.S. criminals” in his country’s prisons, including those who are U.S. citizens as well as those with legal residency in the United States.
“No country has ever made an offer of friendship like this,” Rubio stated at a press conference at the hotel in the Salvadoran capital where he is staying.
Rubio discussed this matter with U.S. President Donald Trump and said that Bukele’s offer is “just a sign of what an incredible friend he is to the United States.”
During his meeting with Rubio, Bukele himself had previously hinted that they would finalize a “historic” migration agreement between the United States and El Salvador.
