The Trump administration is in talks with El Salvador regarding a potential agreement that would allow the US to send Venezuelan gang members to be held in El Salvador’s prisons.
During a call with reporters, Mauricio Claver-Carone, the State Department’s special envoy for Latin America, explained that the proposal would involve deporting non-Salvadoran migrants to El Salvador, the AP reported. The deal would also involve sending members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
The proposal follows El Salvador’s aggressive crackdown on crime under President Nayib Bukele. Since 2022, Bukele has suspended certain constitutional rights to facilitate mass arrests, leading to the detention of approximately 84,000 individuals, most of whom remain imprisoned without formal sentencing. The crackdown has resulted in a sharp decline in gang-related violence in El Salvador, a country that previously struggled with widespread criminal activity.
“If we commit to reviving this agreement and include … members of the Tren de Aragua gang, I bet they’re going to want to go back to Venezuela instead of dealing with the Mara prisons in El Salvador,” said Claver-Carone.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is currently on a Latin American tour, having recently visited Panama and is scheduled to arrive in El Salvador on Monday. Rubio is expected to urge Latin American leaders to cooperate with the Trump administration’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants, particularly those with criminal histories, back to their countries of origin.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
