(Translation) El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, celebrated this Saturday that 1,000 days would be celebrated without any homicide in the country, as a result of his campaign to prosecute the crime. 1,000 days without homicides. I was advised to make a national network and give a speech to commemorate this historic milestone. But I think that instead of speeches, it is best that today we reflect on what our country has lived and on all the forces that tried to prevent us from getting here," Bukele said on his account on the X social network. The data was published on...

The footage appears to be from when ICE arrested Abrego Garcia on Monday. "On Monday, U.S....

Down in El Salvador in the specialized prisons there sit one of the most dangerous of things. An army of over 70k humans who will stop at nothing. All concentrated together. This is of a huge danger to the entire western hemisphere and particularly the the citizens of the US Mexico and Canada.Since nothing lasts forever I hope there is a plan in place to bomb the prison complex if there is any indication that these animals may go free? I hope there are bombers on standby. Always.

The former president’s son made the announcement during an interview with "Channel 5" podcaster Andrew Callaghan, which was posted on Tuesday.

El Salvador's congress has approved constitutional reforms to abolish presidential term limits, allowing President Nayib Bukele to run an unlimited number of times. The reform, reviewed under an expedited procedure, will also extend term times to from five to six years, while the next election will be brought forward to 2027. Mr Bukele, who has been president of the Central American nation since 2019, is a polarising figure. His major crackdown on crime has proved popular among voters, but human rights groups say thousands have been arbitrarily arrested. "Today, democracy has died in El Salvador," said Marcela Villatoro, an MP...

The filing marks the second time the DOJ has made a complaint against a federal judge this year. The department also filed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes in February.

He also oversaw...

A migrant dad is being deported from the US after he took a wrong turn on a California freeway and ended up in Mexico, according to his lawyer. Erick Hernandez came to the US from El Salvador when he was 14, making him a recipient of DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, NBC San Diego reported. But he lost those protections when he left the US on June 1 without permission — which he blamed on a wrong turn while working as a rideshare driver on a routine journey near the border in Los Angeles. “When that happened, he...

Joe Rogan was no fan of former President Joe Biden, but the podcaster raved about his scandal-tarred son Hunter Biden — gushing that a bizarre interview in which he held forth about his illegal drug use showed he was “smarter than his dad.” “And he could be president. How about that?” Rogan said on Wednesday’s episode of his “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast after playing a clip from Biden’s interview with “Channel 5” host Andrew Callaghan. “He could. No bulls–t. Hunter Biden, after all he’d been through, look, his dirty laundry’s all out there. We all see it. He was...

So long as the world is entertaining worst-case scenarios, the media does Americans no favors in omitting that Iran-Hezbollah has for years prepared to strike in their own hometowns. Weirdly absent from much of the professional speculation about where and how Iran will exact its promised “severe revenge” for the U.S. drone strike killing of Quds Force Gen. Qassem Suleimani is mention of the dead man’s highly suggestive hint. During a time of intense saber rattling between Iran and President Donald Trump in July 2018, Suleimani gave a speech during which he called out the American president: “Mr. Gambler, Trump!...

During my law enforcement career, I never saw what one might reasonably describe as an obvious act of courage on the part of any attorney, prosecutor, or public defender. Their lives and jobs were insulated from the gritty reality of day-to-day police work. It was a reality they experienced from the comfort of office chairs and argued in climate-controlled, guarded courtrooms. Such was not the case for US Attorney John A Sarcone III of the Northern District of New York on June 17, 2025 in Albany, NY. Graphic: Saul Morales-Garcia. Albany County Sheriff's Office.

EXCLUSIVE: A Biden-era decision could potentially keep a convicted murderer from being deported from the United States, at least while a key legal battle plays out in court. Fox News rode along with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations in Los Angeles, the center of recent anti-ICE civil unrest, and the agency arrested Salvadoran national Alexander Alfredo Palacios Guevara, who not only has the murder conviction, but also two counts of attempted murder dating back to 1994, an HSI source said. The man told Fox News, "I have CAT, I have CAT," which turned out to be a...
