#ms 13

He's right. Any kind of undocumented border crossing gives a state grounds to presume invasion and espionage.

@TheDemocrats ARE BASICALLY ADMITTING THAT THEY WANT ILLEGAL ALIENS TO #VOTE‼️😳😠🤬🤮

In short, both Trump and Bukele appear to be complicit in a plan to allow MS-13 to operate in El Salvador on its own terms, in exchange for making it look like both are “cracking down” on the gang in their respective countries. Of course, the fact that MS-13 will continue to operate in cahoots with the El Salvadoran government means that citizens of that country who are victims of the gang will continue fleeing to the United States, undercutting the Trump administration’s claim that it is trying to end the “invasion” of asylum seekers. Then again, Trump needs a steady influx of people to continue trying to cross the border in order to keep claiming the “national emergency” he is using to expand his authority. So it’s a win-win propaganda operation.

Are these details explicitly mentioned in the agreement Bukele and Trump have come up with? (You’d think they wouldn’t be, but then again we’re talking about an administration that invited a journalist into a Signal chat discussing classified war plans.) Maybe not, but to the extent they mention the release of specific MS-13 members who have already been indicted by the Justice Department, the Trump administration may be hoping to avoid closer scrutiny of why it is suddenly dropping the charges.

As is noted at the link, the secrecy of the agreement between Bukele and Trump is dubious at best. Agreements with foreign governments require approval by Congress, and Trump clearly doesn’t want them to even know what’s in it.
