El Salvador arrests FIFTY THOUSAND in gang crackdown and will house them in hellish new 'mega prison'
Daily Mail ^ | 8/17/22 | Chris Jewers

El Salvador has arrested some 50,000 suspected gang members since President Nayib Bukele launched a 'war' in March on criminal groups terrorizing the country, the head of the country's police force announced Tuesday.

The country plans to house 40,000 of the arrested alleged gang members in a new 'mega prison' that is currently being constructed.

El Salvador declared a 30-day state of emergency in March following a spate of gang killings, giving officials special powers to clamp down on criminal groups who engage in extortion and drug trafficking, and wage turf wars against each other.

On Tuesday, El Salvador's Congress extended these powers by an additional 30 days for the fifth time since they were first enacted.

'We can inform the Salvadoran people that we have already reached 50,000 recorded detentions during the period of the emergency regime,' said Mauricio Arriaza, director of the National Civil Police.

Arriaza, as well as Justice Minister Gustavo Villatoro and Defence Minister Rene Merino appeared Tuesday at parliament to request another extension of the emergency powers, which have done away with the need for arrest warrants.

They were first enacted in March and have been prolonged by the legislature on a month-by-month basis ever since.

The 84-seat unicameral assembly agreed Tuesday night to grant the government's newest request to maintain the decree, with 66 members voting in favour of an extension through mid-September.

The small Central American country has also increased sentences for gang membership five-fold, to up to 45 years.

MS-13 IS El Salvador. MS stands for Mara Salvatruchas. 13 is the letter M which signifies Marijuana. They're also called Mara Salvatrucha Stoners.

That’s what the Democrats are planning for us

They are indeed sir. FEMA camps. I know someone who used to work for FEMA. I asked her how long it would take to build FEMA camps? She said not long.

Yes he does.

Not just Paul Ryan, but also the 145 Bush Leaguers that voted for Liz Cheney in Feb 2021 and the Bush League Republican Senators that want amnesty instead of building a fence.

Most of the Republicans we have elected are open borders/amnesty Bush League Republicans.

Alabama is planning to build two “super sized” new prisons. The governor of the low crime state of California has his panties in a wad about it, because he’s a genius at reducing crime.

I would be more terrified if they broke out. Imagine 50000 of those mofos all in one place at one time.

I bet they will all head for the US border. Nanzi already declared them Gawd’s children and good people.

House them in a hellish mega prison……ha ha ha ha

They’ll be given $100 and told to walk north to Texas and Arizona to link up with their MS-13 brethren. Once the leave El Salvador they wont be allowed to return, under penalty of death.

Just like Hitler did. Then all political opponents and opposition can be put there with out burden of proof. But it’s drugs...

Evil is as it does, at least he will no longer have opposition politically.

I’d like to see that weasel Paul Ryan face the family and friends of Kate Steinle.

Her family are all raging liberals.

Steinle’s parents have frequently expressed concerns about the politicization of their daughter’s death by the alt-right, Trump supporters, and white nationalists.

What’s the Alt-Right and what are white nationalists?

The brother of a San Francisco murder victim slammed presidential hopeful Donald Trump for using his sister’s death as a political platform.

And the family lost their lawsuit against San Francisco.

So, yeah, Paul Ryan wouldn’t give a sh*t anymore than any of the rest, as long as their kid wasn’t on that pier that night.

We’ll let’s just watch how they use this fine new law. History repeats. If I’m wrong, that’s great. I could use other examples, Hitler wasn’t the first or only one.

*None of the political parties had the cojones to go this far*

WE could run Jesse Helms in every race and we’d end up a minority. Pinochet’s the only answer.

Didn't know that. Disgusting. This is why California can't have nice things.

Her family is a real piece of work.

He should send them to the USA as asylum cases. Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas would welcome them open arms.

My thought was that associations will form within the fences and the population will be self reducing
