He also acknowledged that El Salvador is a country on the rise, where people have security, hope, and the ability to prosper with their families, businesses, and churches have been restored.
During his visit to the prison, he confirmed what President Bukele's Security Cabinet had said, that it is an exclusive prison for direct members of criminal structures, that is, homeboys, palabreros, clique brokers, program brokers, and chairs.
"There's much more discipline in this prison than we see in many prisons in the United States. These people have murdered many people, and in the United States, prisons house all kinds of people who have committed different crimes, but here, a dedicated effort is being made to solve a terrible problem for the Salvadoran people," the congressman asserted.
The last transfer of gang members to the CECOT occurred last month, according to President Nayib Bukele. The transfer involved 2,000 gang members from Izalco, Ciudad Barrios, and San Vicente. For Gaetz, what El Salvador has done to separate terrorists from citizens who want to advance in life is the right solution.
The construction of the CECOT used 33 of 236 blocks, and the development of more prison infrastructure in that area is not ruled out. All the work carried out since the implementation of the Territorial Control Plan, the state of emergency, and the War on Gangs is the result of a coordinated strategy that has made the country the safest in the entire Western Hemisphere.
