El Salvador’s Archbishop Urges Against Guantanamo-Style Prison
El Salvador’s Archbishop, Jose Luis Escobar, cautioned President Nayib Bukele against transforming the country into a “big international prison” following Bukele’s agreement with the U.S. to house deported migrants in a controversial mega-prison. This arrangement has raised concerns about inhumane conditions and the potential for El Salvador to become a new Guantanamo Bay, especially as nonviolent migrants are being deported under the Trump administration’s crackdown. While Bukele supports U.S. efforts to reduce undocumented immigration, Escobar warns of the implications for human rights and international law.
