Wrote El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, on X, addressing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro,
quoted in the NYT.
Among the political prisoners in Venezuela named in Mr. Bukele’s post were several people detained by the Maduro government in a crackdown last year.
He also said that as part of the swap, he would require Mr. Maduro to release “nearly 50 detained citizens of other nationalities,” including Americans.
As of last month, at least 68 foreign passport holders were wrongfully imprisoned in Venezuela, according to a Venezuelan watchdog group, Foro Penal....
“Unlike you, who holds political prisoners,” Mr. Bukele wrote, “we do not have political prisoners. All the Venezuelans we have in custody were detained as part of an operation against gangs like Tren de Aragua in the United States.”

Sounds like a fair swap
Are these deported Venezuelans in El Salvador because Maduro refuses to take back his TdA foot soldiers?
If they are returned to Venezuela in an exchange, would lefty US judges then order their return from Venezuela to receive due process, at the behest of Maduro who would want them to re-infiltrate the US?
The overall answer is to conduct remote hearings rather than require in-person hearings as a matter of national security, which should be the exclusive policy domain of the executive.
Am I the only one that finds it weird that the leader of El Salvador is a man named "Nayib" and the leader of Mexico is a lady named "Sheinbaum."
That Bukele's an interesting guy. Van Hollen claimed without evidence that Bukele was behind the "margaritas" set on the table between he and the gangbanger at their El Salvadoran summit. However, a different fact stood out to me at that meeting. In one photo the MS-13 leader (teniente) has his left hand dangling down and there are indeed tattoos on the fingers. I'm tending towards the White House's explanation more than the lying NYT story Althouse quoted last week claiming Trump's photo was phony.

So here is what I think: does he own a gun? If he owned a gun, the Trump Administration would have *told* us this information. They aren't going to keep that secret. 🤫 That would have been the very first thing they told us about: all of the "gangbangers" weapons.
So yeah...a hard core gangbanger that doesn't even own a gun. Stay gold, ponyboy.

What do you mean by "https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/050386a0-fc4b-4dc1-b11c-d468cce632e1owns"? Do you mean a gun registered to him or being caught in possession of a gun?
I remember when going door-to-door with weapons in an apartment complex was perfectly normal.
The nations of Latin America (Portuguese Brazil included) are 'nations of immigrants' like the US, and millions of those immigrants are not from Spain or Portugal. Many of them have risen to high office. The recently-late Pope was the Argentinian son of Italian immigrants, Paraguay's dictator Alfredo Stroessner was the son of a German immigrant, Peru's president and later dictator Alberto Fujimori was ethnically Japanese, and Nayyib Bukele is of Palestinian ancestry. Just a few days ago he was telling the people of Gaza, as one Palestinian to another, or rather some others, how much they need to get rid of Hamas.

Have any Democrat Congresscritters visited the Americans held by Venezuela? Since none are gang members or wife beaters, the Democrats appear uninterested.
By the way, someone who looks like "a hard-core gangbanger that doesn't even own a gun" might just as easily be a hard-core gangbanger who knew how to hide his gun - or whole bunch of guns - where the police wouldn't find it/them.
"What do you mean by "owns"?"
What do you mean- like owning apartment buildings?

Claim made without evidence:to whit: that you EVER think
How would the Trump Admin know if he owned an illegal gun? Or if his "wife" legally "owned" a gun that was in fact his?
Leaving aside the reality that MS-13 is known for killing people with machetes more so than guns. But DD doesn't ask about that.
Because the whole question is stupid
Disturbing how "illegal resident migrant criminals" are now much higher priority to Democratic politicians than their own citizenry. But I realize it's just another bully pulpit for progressive politicians to distract from fact that they've wrecked our country.
Does seem we have a detective case here of "the missing tattoos". The guy in Van Hollen's margarita photo doesn't seem to be TdA tattooed guy in other photos. Does El Salvador often tattoo removal services to its newly arrived TdA guests?
More was thought and written about Sacco & Vanzetti during the 1920's than the contemporaneous millions who perished during the early years of the Bolshevik Revolution.. Edmund Wilson, the noted literary critic and wife beater, was particularly eloquent in the defense of both Sacco and the Bolshevik Revolution.......Garcia is a wife beater, and he has certainly cultivated the look of a gang member.. I can't muster a lot of sympathy for him. The media has apparently convinced themselves that he's some kind of Dreyfus, but they don't present a convincing argument.
"we do not have political prisoners..."
I am glad I wasn't drinking something when I read that. LEt's not even go there in Europe, where people are imprisoned for social media posts, but I suppose that they are not political prisoners, either.
El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele - or someone using his name on X - wants to cut an exchange prisoner deal. This means absolutely nothing since the readers on X cannot act in the deal that Bukele cut with Little Marco. The United States is set to pay El Salvador $6 million to imprison 300 alleged members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang for one year.
"Alleged gang members" is imprecise and does not pass muster under U.S. law and contractors cannot change contract language without consent of the hiring contractee.
I'm tending towards the White House's explanation more than the lying NYT story Althouse quoted last week claiming Trump's photo was phony.
I am pretty sure the hand photo has the tattoos of the marijuana plant, the XX smiley face, the cross and the skull, and that the "MS13" was added to show what those symbols represent - Marijuana = M, Smiley face = S, cross = 1, skull = 3 (not sure why on the latter two).
I, for one, suggest the Venezuelan gang members be repatriated to Venezuela immediately upon release of the Israeli hostages held by Hamas. What, Hamas won't do that? Why does Hamas hate Venezuelan people so much!?
cross = 1, skull = 3 (not sure why on the latter two).
Cross* has dominant vertical line like a number 1. Skull has 3 holes for nose and eyes. He's also usually wearing a Chicago Bulls hat (part of their gang attire) which conveniently covers his skull tattoos.
*Also Christ said , "I am the ONE way to the Father."
D.D.: of course illegal gangbangers register their guns. Catch up with the evidence, Gadfly. Not that I mind incarcerating illegals convicted of crimes in America in American prisons. That's a humanitarian gesture to vulnerable people in their home countries -- when we bother to follow through with prosecuting them at all when they are caught.
Trump plays fifth dimensional chess with his good friend in El Salvador, while his critics wax woefully in a woke state.
If he owned a gun, the Trump Administration would have *told* us this information.
So the Trump Administration knows each and every person who does or does not own a gun? Both legal and illegal residents?
Learn something new every day.

So you are dishonest and stupid.
Trump's greatest superpower is making all of the globalist shills take off their masks and letting everyone know whos side they are on.
"So you are dishonest and stupid."
You are a bootlicking tool and the Founding Fathers would have strung you from tree and gutted you like a fish.
Throwing a man in prison for owning a Chicago Bulls hat? Get fucked.
1: He's an illegal alien, for which he heeds to be thrown out of the country
2: What his country does to him after we've tossed him out is irrelevant
3: He was hanging out with MS-13 members while wearing the "gang colors." That means he's also MS-13, because otherwise they would have killed him. Moron
4: Tenn Highway Patrol caught him human trafficking, teh Biden Admin told them to let him go.
Get fucked, you lying sack of shit
