Context:

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio reached an agreement with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele concerning the deportation of foreign nationals, including violent criminals currently imprisoned in the United States.

Details of the Agreement:

Under this agreement, El Salvador would accept deportees of any nationality, even those including violent criminals, who will be transferred to El Salvador’s prisons.
Only “convicted criminals” would be accepted into El Salvador’s prisons
El Salvador would charge the U.S. a relatively low fee in exchange for accepting these prisoners.
The revenue generated from this arrangement is expected to support El Salvador’s prison system, which has struggled with overcrowding and underfunding.
