This\u200c offer comes \u2062in the context of Bukele&#8217;s \u200baggressive campaign to combat gang violence in El Salvador, where he has\u2062 opened a state-of-the-art facility known as the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) to house violent \u2063offenders.<\/p>\n<p>Rubio noted that\u2064 Bukele&#8217;s offer extends to American criminals already incarcerated in the U.S. Under \u200cconditions in CECOT, inmates are\u2063 subjected to harsh living arrangements, including overcrowded cells that house up to 70 prisoners, limited access to exercise, minimal dietary options, and basic sanitation \u2064facilities. Inmates \u2063are primarily fed\u200b beans and pasta, wiht\u2064 meat strictly prohibited.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal suggests potential benefits, including a deterrent effect on U.S. criminals who might \u2064think\u2063 twice \u200dabout \u200ccommitting severe offenses with the prospect of being sent to such a prison in El\u200d Salvador. Bukele aims\u2064 to transform incentives within his country to encourage legitimate employment over gang affiliation, thereby reducing criminal activity.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>El Salvador President Nayib Bukele made an unusual offer to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.<\/p>\n<p>He proposed that the United States send criminal illegal aliens from various nations, and even its worst criminals, to the prison system of El Salvador in exchange for a fee.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We can send them, and he will put them in his jails,&rdquo;
