The U.S. has sent 17 prisoners to El Salvador despite legal challenges. Secretary Rubio calls them "violent criminals" tied to terrorist gangs.
President Bukele supports the transfer as a step toward tackling gang violence.
Last week, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem visited a prison in El Salvador, where she toured the facilities of the "Terrorism Confinement Center," a high-security facility that has become the focal point of this controversial deportation strategy.
While some critics raise concerns about the legality of these actions, both President Bukele and Trump continue to defend their position.
