Caption: El Salvador Agrees to Accept US Deportees and Criminals Under Historic Deal. The US Secretary of State has announced that El Salvador will accept US deportees of any nationality along with violent American criminals currently imprisoned in the US. During a visit to El Salvador, Senator Marco Rubio described the agreement with President Nayib Bukele as "the most unprecedented migratory agreement anywhere in the world”. Bukele also offered to accept dangerous criminals, including US citizens, sparking comparisons to a "safe third country" arrangement. The deal comes amid discussions about handling cases where countries like Venezuela could refuse to accept deported criminals. While Bukele hailed the agreement as historic for US-Latin American relations, US officials have since said there are no current plans to deport American citizens under this arrangement yet.
