Part 2/14:
Over the weekend, significant developments emerged from El Salvador, showcasing a bold and effective approach to reducing violent crime by deporting hundreds of gang members associated with notorious organizations like Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and Tráficantes. President Naib Belli’s government has taken proactive steps by utilizing the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to facilitate these deportations, sending the dangerous offenders to the Mega prison—a massive detention facility designed to hold up to 40,000 inmates. Since Belli’s drastic criminal justice reforms, El Salvador has experienced a dramatic 90% decline in murder rates over the past four years, transforming from the world’s murder capital into one of the safest countries globally.
