A wave of gang-related killings in El Salvador have resulted in the government declaring a state of emergency over the weekend. The president is looking to punish the country’s gangs on the streets and in the prisons after its deadliest day in over 30 years.

Don't worry El Salvador, Biden will take them off your hands. Just send the gang members to the US borders
Chicago hits those numbers every weekend
MUSCLES REQUIRE LOTS OF FOOD, FEED THEM ONCE A DAY UNTIL THEY ARE AS WEAK AS KITTENS. do it in antarctica. make them consume all of their drugs by the pound per day.
USA should help develop its neighbors 🌉
This report started with hype then told the truth stating that the murder rate has significantly gone down over time 1:42 yet most media won’t report that because they love to fear monger. I’ve seen countless videos of tourists visiting them and how shocked they were to see that it’s not nearly as dangerous. Honestly western media reports this way in general over black and brown countries endlessly. Wake up America it’s propaganda.
I hate to break it to you all but the US is currently having 63 murders EVERY DAY not just on Saturday. I understand El Salvador is much more dangerous per population but let's all not start shaking our heads at them when WE have a serious murder problem ourselves. If you think El Salvador is significantly more dangerous than New Orleans or Philly or Milwaukee, you're dreaming. Wake up.
theres millions of them in USA, all upstanding citizens of course. doctors, lawyers, rocket scientists etc
Yeah don’t bring them over here lol
stop putting filth like this in prison take them out dig a hole and bury them they don't deserve to live and they are weak
Giving the police emergency power… that's never backfired
What they refuse to report is the thousands and thousands that have crossed the southern border since Joe Biden took control of this country and they're still coming in there's videos all over the internet if you don't believe me these thugs are all over President Trump warned he said they're not telling you the truth in the media there's been over 10 million illegal aliens come over this year already
…. everybody just need to cool out…
Send in the US armed forces. They’d clean house in about 24 hours. Send in NATO if you have to. Enough!
everything was good until this happened but Thank God, we have a good president now who take action not just words. I'm proud to Salvadorian now because we have a president that is working for his people.
Sup Guad!! El Tech boy!
That's a typical weekend in Chicago.
At least they are taking a stand against gangs
America prefers to be the only ones paying criminals
It's ok. They'll release them in a few months and Biden will welcome them
All y'all need is another pandemic huh
Ms13 is weak. Little putas
nice
What pushes people to join these gangs in the first place?? Could it be that government crushing peoples freedom and hope could cause people to join these gangs?
Execute known gang members. If you have an MS13 tattoo on you, they just need to execute you.
Execute all of them.. problem solved..
We just need to push Central America somewhere else.
Yes put gangs in with opposite gangs. Let them figure things out.
This is not a new issue . We can not make too many comments with the Radical right , proud boys, oath keepers etc acting like gang members here in our country and then they blame it on others it seems very similar to me
🙏🏼
American conservatives: "Look at all those poor white people pouring out of Ukraine. 😢 "
*women and children show up at the US border, fleeing violence*
American conservatives: "You're not REAL refugees! Go TF home! 😠"
🤔
It’s okay we have open borders in the US we take everyone
Annex el savedor… looks like how America will be in the near future
Also screw those U.S officials that criticize his actions, this man knows the only way to fix the evil is to soil his hands and those that follow him at heart not just orders, our officials would rather the country suffer so they have a ready source of propaganda at all times
They flee their country to come to America which has on average 640 murders each weekend nearly 1000 if you include friday. Maybe instead of crossing the borders of numerous countries settle in one that actually borders your own. It's not american taxpayers responsibility to pay for people illegally crossing the border.
It's a coincidence that President Bukele is not following U.S. directions and now the violence spikes at recod levels. I'm just saying, it's a coincidence.
Well here at least we are taking care of our citenzen. Hold on I forgot to mention yesterday my car was cracked all windows and lost my camera and my dad lost his computer the followin day.
It’s here in America too. A sailboat is more and more attractive to me. I don’t even blame the gangs. I blame people voting for more control over civilians’ rights to defend themselves.
Like Chicago? Pray for for qll.
“Gilberto Sanchez” they put my man full name and face for 3 secs camera time to comment on gang activity 😂
What he needs to do is death penalty or life in prison for all gang members that will make people think twice before they want to be part of a gang
lol, 600………when you make 100,000+ arrests then you will have my attention. till then, never going back there.
If they keep this up, that place will look like Chicago!
Why is it hard to imagine? Its happening in communities across US too buddy
About time some body did something about gangs in El Salvador,You think this is mistreatment to human beings you should know what this young thugs are capable of doing before judging about human rights
Just bus them all to the USA .
It's hard to imagine why the US hasn't secured it's boarder's.
US gov keep talking and criticize. Let el Salvador solve it's own problem. Nothing US did bring peace, all the instability in middle east and afghan fallen into terrorist is the result of us foreign policy.
Póngalos a trabajar
