El Salvador on Monday (February 3) offered to house in its jails "dangerous criminals" from anywhere in the world deported by the United States, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said after lengthy talks with the Central American country's leader.
Rubio, who is on his first oversees tour as the U.S. top diplomat, is seeking support from countries in the region for the Trump administration's attempts to deport large numbers of migrants.
He met with El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele and senior officials at Bukele's residence on Lake Coatepeque outside the capital for almost three hours, where they agreed to go beyond El Salvador's acceptance of its own deported citizens.
Bukele also offered to house dangerous criminals who are U.S. citizens or legal residents, Rubio said, although it was unclear whether the U.S. would take up that offer.
Rubio said more details of the agreement would be forthcoming.
