Rubio: El Salvador Agrees to House Illegal Aliens Jailed in U.S.

On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, has agreed to use his country’s jails to house illegal aliens who have been incarcerated in the United States, regardless of their nationality.

According to The Epoch Times, Secretary Rubio confirmed that President Bukelee  “has agreed to the most unprecedented, extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world.” Rubio made the announcement during a signing ceremony for a civil nuclear agreement with El Salvador.

“He’s also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving their sentence in the United States even though they’re U.S. citizens or legal residents,” Rubio added.

Bukele’s government will accept “criminal illegal migrants” that are currently incarcerated in the United States, including members of vicious gangs such as MS-13 and Tren de Aragua. Bukele announced in a post on X that his country has “offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system.”

In exchange for housing illegal alien criminals, the government of El Salvador will charge a fee to the United States for each inmate, though Bukele noted that this fee “would be relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable.”

As part of the deal, both the American and El Salvadoran governments agreed to ramp up their efforts to combat mass migration in their respective countries.

“Multiple agreements were struck to fight the waves of illegal mass migration currently destabilizing the entire region,” said State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce.
