“We understand that the alleged crimes for which these warrants are being built are apology for crimes and illicit association. Any capture or raid on our homes will be for having done journalism,” states editor-in-chief

“Comprendemos que los delitos por los que construyen estas órdenes es por apología de delitos y agrupaciones ilícitas. Cualquier captura o allanamiento a nuestras casas va a ser por haber hecho periodismo”, señaló @CronistaOscar, jefe de redacción de El Faro.

Trump told Bukele he needs to build five more prisons to hold the "home grown" offenders.

Let's be clear: Trump is asking El Salvador to build concentration camp for his political prisoners.

Max Burns @themaxburns posted the definition of a concentration camp From the U.S. Holocaust Museum:

"What distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison (in the moderns sense) is that it functions outside of a judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process."

Welp.

The #Trump admin says Secy of #State #MarcoRubio is "personally handling" discussions with #ElSalvador over the return of wrongly deported migrants.

He has a "personal relationship" with #Bukele that dates to his time on #ForeignRelations Cmte.

U.S. agents suspected Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and some in his inner circle of diverting USAID funds to MS-13 leaders. Agents sought to review any U.S. bank accounts held by 15 Salvadoran political figures including Bukele, other senior officials and their relatives.
