When Nayib Bukele became president of El Salvador, he immediately began cracking down on gangs, quickly filling up CECOT, the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo, the largest prison in Latin America. Crime dropped dramatically under Bukele. Here's a video of Bukele at the United Nations last September saying that his crackdown actually set millions of people free.
"Some complain that we put thousands in prison. In reality, we set millions free."

Bukele isn't apologizing for filling the "torture" prison with gangbangers.
I love this guy. True leader.

Beautifully spoken

It’s true. Why can’t everyone see it that way?

That’s the truth right there. Locking up criminals doesn’t oppress it liberates the law-abiding.

President Bukele is going into the world leader hall of fame.

Very eloquently put.

Empathy for criminals while ignoring victims doesn’t equal a moral high ground. Doesn’t work that way.

Thousands of terrorizers locked up in exchange for society’s safety and security?
Sounds like a fair trade to me.
Went from murder capital of the world to one of the safest countries

Some can complain. But they are a lot safer
What a beautiful speech by Nayib Bukele. He is a perfect example of someone who cares for his people and puts honest citizens first. People like Van Hollen and all the other leftist crackpots could learn a lot from Bukele.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the Trump administration must facilitate the release and return of "Maryland Man" Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but Bukele is rightfully saying that he's a citizen of El Salvador and he's not going anywhere. He's already "home."
