Trump Partner Bukele Working with MS-13: Delay, Interfere, Undermine

So, it turns out that Trump's partner in allowing the US to send immigrants to a foreign prison for indeterminant periods (often without having been convicted of any crime) is himself a partner of MS-13 according to US and Salvadoran investigators. The report is worth reading as a whole. Here are a couple of the examples of what Bukele did for them after members of his administration worked out a pact with leaders of the gang:

In May 2021, Bukele’s legislative majority in Congress ousted the attorney general and justices of the Supreme Court, which oversees extradition requests. Within seven months, newly installed justices reversed or halted six requests for senior gang leaders wanted in the U.S., according to interviews and documents.

“Bukele’s people were coming to the Supreme Court and saying under no circumstances are we extraditing the MS-13 leaders,” said the U.S. official familiar with the investigation. “‘Delay, interfere, undermine, do what you have to do.’”

Senior Bukele officials helped an MS-13 leader with a pending extradition order escape from prison, according to court records, U.S. officials and Salvadoran news reports. At least three other top gang leaders were released from Salvadoran custody after the U.S. filed extradition requests for them, according to Justice Department documents.

Published accounts in the United States and El Salvador have reported allegations that Bukele also pushed for the return of MS-13 leaders to prevent them from testifying in U.S. courts about the pact. Despite his government’s refusal to extradite gang bosses to the United States, the Trump administration in March deported one MS-13 leader accused of terrorism. The Justice Department is now seeking to dismiss charges against a second leader, which would allow him to be sent back to El Salvador, according to recent court filings.

A ton of crazy details. There is no way that people like Noem and Rubio didn't know about this investigation and didn't knowingly participate in propping up a partner of MS-13 in order to ship immigrants to a prison there for indeterminant sentences. The article ends with the details of the agreement they signed: $6 million to El Salvador and the return of MS-13 gang leaders who could implicate him back to El Salvador, where he could help them escape like at least 4 major leaders of the gang before them that were allowed to "escape" with the help of his government.
