On March 31, 2025, President El Salvadori Bokili announced the success of a joint military operation with the United States, which resulted in the transfer of 17 very dangerous criminals to El Salvador prisons.
He explained that these criminals are linked to the gangs of “TRIN De Aragoa” and “MS-13”, all of whom are confirmed killers and prominent criminals, including six convicted of children’s rape crimes.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed that the operation was carried out in coordination with the Salvadian authorities as part of combating terrorism efforts, noting that this step strengthens security cooperation between the two countries.
This procedure comes within the framework of El Salvador to accommodate the deported criminals from the United States, using its huge prisons such as “Sicot” to contain cross -border criminal threats.
