An exposé by The Washington Post has revealed Secretary of State Marco Rubio agreed to return nine leaders of the MS-13 gang in U.S. custody to El Salvador in exchange for President Nayib Bukele’s government to allow the United States to deport and detain hundreds of immigrants at the CECOT mega-prison complex. Some of the people Rubio promised to return were U.S. government informants who were under the protection of the Justice Department. Bukele’s request came amid mounting reports of secret deals between his government and MS-13.
