CECOT El Salvador Prison (The most evil are kept here)
The prison CECOT located in El Salvador would accept “of any nationality” American convicts and deported illegal migrants through an offer made by Bukele to Rubio in their Monday meeting.

President Bukele proposed to support the US prison system partially through foreign incarceration because El Salvador wanted America to “outsource part of its prison system.”
Trump Considering El Salvador’s Proposal
The president expressed support for El Salvador’s proposal despite the present legal hurdles that exist regarding American prison outsourcing. The president declared his desire to make such move if legal possibilities allowed him to do so while speaking to reporters in the White House.
Trump declared that this immigration plan would function similarly to the American prison system because it would save costs for US taxpayers and help discourage illegal border crossing.
The President declared he would set terms for compensation that would lower American expenses while generating money for Salvadoran prison expansion projects.
According to Trump the financial cost for extraditing criminals to El Salvador would be significantly lower than the expense of operating private prisons.
Trump argued that El Salvador could permanently retain the detainees since these individuals permanently lacked potential value.
During his meeting with Bukele Ambassador Rubio emphasized that the Trump administration needs to evaluate the proposal even though he recognized potential legal barriers. The review of this offer needs our team to investigate it properly. Rubio spoke to media representatives the day following that meeting in Costa Rica after his visit to El Salvador.
The Salvadoran President made us a generous offer which exists despite our constitution and other established rules according to Rubio. After hearing the offer Bukele replied “Such an offer has never existed before.”
El Salvador’s CECOT Prison Offer for US
According to Rubia El Salvador will extend its offer to accept all criminal non-Salvadoran illegal immigrants from the U.S. by providing jail accommodation for those identified as members of MS-13 or Tren de Aragua.
Bukele has told US officials that he would accept to hold dangerous American prisoners currently detaining in our country including those who possess US citizenship or legal residency and residency,” according to Rubio’s statements.
Legal Challenges
The US Constitution allows no cruel or unusual punishments but it also protects due process rights. Modern democracies have not historically approved the transfer of citizens into foreign incarceration operations. All American-born citizens operating under US laws have protection determining their right to avoid deportation.
The United States can remove citizenship from those who acquired their citizenship through following legal methods after birth but were not born within the US. People who acquired citizenship through fraudulent means are likely to lose it as per legal process.
The Trump administration faces strong legal resistance whenever it attempts to send US nationals incarcerated in the United States to another country.
About Jail in El Salvador CECOT Prison
The Terrorism Confinement Center of El Salvador functions as the country’s biggest correctional facility under the name CECOT and opened in 2023 for its maximum intended 40,000 prisoner capacity. The institution consists of eight expansive sections across its area. According to an Associated Press report the cells within the institution confine 65 to 70 prisoners each during incarceration.
Inside prison yards prisoners in boxer shorts are led to face each other at close proximity. Every cell exceeds its capacity because prisoners do not have enough bunks to fit inside. Prisoners in El Salvador receive no programs that teach them life skills or provide education since they spend their entire sentences behind bars without any releases to outside facilities.
The tight grip Bukele maintains over ruling El Salvador has received massive praise for slowing down gang-related violence throughout the country after his massive 2022 police operation locked up 80,000 people.
Human rights groups have voiced strong condemnation of El Salvador’s prison conditions which they describe as degrading since El Salvador recorded a substantial decrease in its crime rates following a past period of being regarded as one of the deadliest nations worldwide.
Trump’s Crackdown on Illegal Immigration
The U.S. government announced through its immigration crackdown that it will place migrant detainees at Guantanamo military detention facility in Cuba which was established during January 2002. The structure of the prison exists within the United States naval base under the terms of a 1903 Havana treaty which grants lease rights to the US.
Political leaders established this detention facility following the September 11 attacks to house enemy combatants who carried away essential legal rights. The facility continues to operate despite Democratic presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden preserving to close Guantanamo because Congress rejects Guantanamo closure efforts.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio planned to visit El Salvador this week as Washington considered letting the country host migrants whom others declined to repatriate.
The United States initiated transport flights of migrants to the notorious military base at Cuba on Tuesday following the detention of terrorism suspects who remained without formal charges after the 9/11 attacks.
