El Salvador has continued its crackdown on what officials are calling a war on gangs as the government has arrested 6,000 gang members in response to a killing spree in March. The rise in gang violence caused a countrywide state of emergency, but advocates claim some of the the efforts are creating a framework for abuse.

Great job! You have to take massive action! The media and people who aren't even there will always have something to say and a negative opinion no matter what. It's what they get paid to do. Great job on the president!
Major props to the president of El Salvador. Mexico needs to do the same thing. Gang members are a plague on society. They should all be thrown on an island full of venomous snakes and spiders.
Muy bien echo señor presidente!!! Usted tiene toda la razón.
President bukule is been too nice cause rodrigo duterte would had just shoot those gangster
O tolerance is only way el Salvador will save itself to arrest and eliminate 🔥
This is a good start!!! It took long to get this done but I’m glad it’s getting done!!!!
Tremendous job!! These gang members are animals … you have to teach animals a harsh lesson… no more free range gangsters
Should all be excecuted.
Then the Biden administration calls it a civil rights violation and fly's them here..hey 6000 live voters is better than 12000 dead voters :/
Make Gang Tattoos = Death Penalty
It's inhumane, but necessary action.
Now if only the scum in office would grow a set and follow this same concept here in the US. You would see SOOOOOOO much crime drop across the country within a couple of days.
send them back to the US where they came from, for prosecution. its the headquarters.
The thing is in if your simply born in a certain area you have zero choice if you want to join a gang or not.
Hang them high!
Es lo que les faltava hacer. Lock them all up!!! Nomas se aprobechavan. Me imajino que El Salvador handan mas en paz.
good pack more in and fill up that jail with water let the rats drown, most of these criminals are not redeemable , there is no reintegration for most , not saying there are some good people in there but the narco/ gang element in el Salvador is brutal and can only be exterminated not understood
This is a great president 👏
phase 2: now lets arrest all the crooked politicians and police
"how do you know they are gang members?"
As the they got ms 13 tattooed on em
Respect ✊🏽 about time they do something about the gangs!
would've been better if the poverty and lack of opportunities to escape it were addressed
They will all be living in Long island, NY soon
GREAT JOB!
LOS GUEBOS DE ESTE PRESIDENTE EN LA PERRA VIDA UN PRESIDENTE DE USA Y MENOS DE MEXICO LOS TENDRÁ
Gas them now
Biden said the Democrats will welcome all of them to the USA
Lol organization are dumb.
You want to be nice then take care of all gangs
Fantastic. Keep them in prison for a long time. Bet they see the crime rates plummet.
Yessir praise Jesus
All countries need to start dropping these lowlifes off on a deserted Island I love this keep them locked up period
Job well done!!!

A lot of gangs have intimidated some of these people and to going along to get along
This should be done in the US, but of course it would be racist
In extreme circumstances, extreme measures must be taken. What’s happening in El Salvador is extreme and what the president is doing is right. What he says is true too. If you want them in your country, come take them.
The US government should give support to the country of El Salvador in this endeavor start doing the same in our country
Screw there rights ! this is something that has to be done
God bless El Salvador's president and his Endeavor and help him to rid him of the scum of his country that only bring down their country and keep people from wanting to go visit their beautiful country you have a lot of beautiful historic sites in your country preserve your country's ability to have tourism Americans and other people from other countries are just playing scared to go to your country help clean up that problem sir your people deserve so much more the gangs only work to hold the people down your country can prosper
Good they have been terrorizing people to long. Now their government needs to step up and help his people in poverty!!!
If this was the u.s there be massive amout over 6k law sute being filed out for all kinds rights being violated but pruff my point pigs can't do there job without violating rights
I love bukele his best president 😘😘😘
Protect this man at all cost!
