Around 91,000 people, mostly young men, have been thrown into prison in El Salvador since 2022 on suspicions that they are gang members, some simply because they had tattoos. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/15/world/society/crisis-generation-salvadorans-dad/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #elsalvador #centralamerica #nayibbukele #prisons
Latin America’s political mood is moving right as voters punish governments that fail to deliver, but local contexts and individual leaders shape how this trend plays out. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/09/world/year-of-the-right-looms-for-latin-america/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #latinamerica #joseantoniokast #javiermilei #nicolasmaduro #donaldtrump #nayibbukele #gustavopetro #luizinacioluladasilva #sebastianpinera #claudiasheinbaum #chile #argentina #venezuela #elsalvador #ecuador #honduras #costarica #peru #colombia #brazil #mexico
»El Salvador — Weltweit erstes landesweites KI-Bildungsprogramm zusammen mit xAI:
Nayib Bukele und Elon Musk vereinbaren den Einsatz des KI-Chatbots Grok in El Salvadors öffentlichen Schulen. Andernorts ist Grok durchaus umstritten.«
Ach du meine Güte. Wenn dies nicht Musk's Propaganda dann den Kindern durch die KI Hirnwäsche durchgeführt wird, damit sie ihm unhinterfragt folgen?!

A federal judge in Maryland has ordered the immediate release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran migrant at the center of political and legal battles as a symbol of U.S. hard-line immigration policies. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/12/world/society/abrego-garcia-us-release-order/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #society #us #donaldtrump #maryland #immigration #elsalvador
Today in Labor History December 2, 1980: Four American missionaries were raped and murdered by a Salvadoran death squad. The Salvadoran Civil War began after a 1979 military coup. Catholic activists protested against the junta's oppression of the poor and working class. Death squads assassinated Óscar Romero, the Archbishop of San Salvador, March 24, 1980. After the four Americans were murdered, U.S. President Jimmy Carter suspended aid to El Salvador. However, succeeding President, Ronald Reagan, promptly authorized increased military aid. He also sent more U.S. military advisers, escalating attacks on civilians. His foreign policy advisor, Jean Kirkpatrick, claimed that "the nuns were not just nuns; they were political activists," as if this justified their rape and murder. After the release of declassified documents in the 1990s, New Jersey congressman Robert Torricelli stated that it was "now clear that the Reagan Administration was certifying human rights progress in El Salvador they knew the terrible truth that the Salvadoran military was engaged in a widespread campaign of terror and torture." During the Civil War, over 65,000 civilians were killed, plus another 5,300 disappeared, with over half a million people internally displaced, and another half million fleeing to other countries as refugees.

As MJ & other outlets have reported extensively, most of the men had NO serious criminal history in the #US or elsewhere in the world. What they often had instead were #tattoos that bore NO relation to the gang.
The new report offers even more evidence of the #inhumane treatment the #Venezuelan #immigrants endured in #ElSalvador.

#Beatings. #SexualAssault. #PsychologicalAbuse. These are some of the horrors endured by the >250 men the #UnitedStates sent to #ElSalvador on flimsy evidence of gang membership, acc/to a new comprehensive report released on Wednesday by #HRW & #Cristosal, a #HumanRights group focused on #CentralAmerica.

"In interviews, however, the men sent to the prison described frequent, intense physical and psychological abuse. Beyond the beatings, tear gas and trips to the isolation room, the men said they were mocked or ignored by medical personnel, forced to spend 24 hours a day under harsh lights and made to drink from wells of fetid water."

While the outlines of the quid pro quo have been public for months, the #Trump admin’s willingness to renege on secret arrangements made with #informants who had aided #US investigations has not been previously reported.
…The deal would give #Bukele possession of individuals who threatened to expose the alleged *deals* his govt made with #MS13 to help achieve #ElSalvador’s historic drop in violence, officials said.

To #deport them to #ElSalvador, AG #PamBondi would need to terminate the #DOJ’s arrangements with those men, #MarcoRubio said. He assured #Bukele that Bondi would complete that process & Washington would hand over the MS-13 leaders.
Rubio’s extraordinary pledge illustrates the extent to which the #Trump admin was willing to meet Bukele’s demands as it negotiated what would become one of the signature agreements of Trump’s early months in office.
In the days before the #Trump admin deported hundreds of #Venezuelan immigrants to #CECOT, a notorious prison in #ElSalvador, the president of that country demanded something: the return of 9 MS13 gang leaders in US custody. Secy of #State #MarcoRubio, in a March 13 phone call with Salvadoran President Nayib #Bukele, promised the request would be fulfilled….But there was one obstacle: Some of the MS-13 members Bukele wanted were “ #informants” under the #protection of the US govt, Rubio told him.
