El Salvador Wants to Deport Gang Members to France. Here’s Why…
National Pulse. ^ | June 30, 2025

Posted on 06/30/2025 2:20:13 PM PDT by george76

WHAT HAPPENED: El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has said he is willing to deport gang members and illegal aliens incarcerated in his country’s Center for the Confinement of Terrorism (CECOT) super-prison to France, after a Paris Fashion Week show paid tribute to its inmates.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Bukele, designer Willy Chavarria, models at the Paris Fashion Week.

📍WHEN & WHERE: June 2025, during Paris Fashion Week in France.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We’re ready to ship them all to Paris whenever we get the green light from the French government.” – Nayib Bukele

🎯IMPACT: The controversy highlights the growing focus on and disdain for Bukele, who has bucked the increasingly soft Western approach to criminal justice in favor of mass incarceration—and taken El Salvador from being one of the most dangerous countries in the western hemisphere to one of the safest in the process.

...

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele issued a sharp response after a Paris Fashion Week show appeared to criticize his administration’s treatment of inmates at the Center for the Confinement of Terrorism (CECOT) super-prison, which recently began accepting illegal aliens from the U.S. Bukele accused the show of “glorifying criminals” and said he was ready to send CECOT inmates to France.

The controversy began when designer Willy Chavarria showcased a collection featuring models wearing white T-shirts and shorts resembling prison uniforms. The models reenacted scenes reminiscent of images from ECOT, where inmates are often shown kneeling with their heads bowed. Chavarria’s show, in collaboration with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), also featured political messaging, including invitations styled like immigration summons.

Bukele responded on X, saying, “We’re ready to ship them all to Paris whenever we get the green light from the French government.” In a follow-up post, he shared a video of an American woman crying after being constantly harassed in Paris, captioning it, “This is the result of glorifying criminals in Paris. He who spares the wolf sacrifices the sheep.”

CECOT houses thousands of gang members, including those from MS-13 and the 18th Street Gang. Bukele often promotes the facility as part of his successful crackdown on the gang violence that has plagued El Salvador for years, while liberals who favor a soft-on-crime “restorative justice” approach have long railed against it. This antipathy increased in the West after Bukele offered to host illegal aliens in the U.S. and potentially even U.S. criminals at the facility.

Bukele: “You love ‘em, you can have ‘em ... as many as you want ... we’ll even cover shipping charges ...”

Crime and violence are just ‘social constructs’, according to the globohomo leftist socialists.

"Ship them to Willy Chavarria’s house."

Ship them to France's Presidential Palace so that Macron's mother will have more boy toys to slap around.

Maybe they can reopen Devil’s Island and staff it with victims of terrorism and cartels.

more Islamonazis and terrorists will fit right into Marcon’s France

sad to say but France looks like a lost cause. Marcon instead of Charles Martel. Tragic!

Very impressive. He, Milei, Orban, and of course Trump are the good guys on the scene right now. Similar strengths and are opposed by the same kinds of bad guys, namely the establishment left and NWO types.
