Overview
- Hillary Clinton shared a PBS Frontline short about three Venezuelan men who say they were wrongly labeled as Tren de Aragua members and deported to El Salvador’s CECOT prison.
- Nayib Bukele responded by offering to release the entire prison population to any country willing to take every inmate, including gang leaders and those described as political prisoners.
- He argued the mass release would let journalists and NGOs test claims of systemic abuse by interviewing thousands of former inmates.
- CECOT is El Salvador’s maximum‑security facility that holds gang members and certain migrants deported from the United States under cooperation with President Donald Trump after Venezuela declined repatriation.
- A U.S. federal judge ordered due process for a class of Venezuelans deported in March and gave the administration two weeks to detail its compliance plan.
