Migration deal: Rubio touts 'unprecedented' pact with El Salvador, including offer to detain U.S. convicts abroad

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced what he called an unprecedented migration deal with El Salvador. President Nayib Bukele offered to accept U.S. deportees regardless of nationality and proposed holding dangerous criminals, for a fee, in El Salvador’s mega prison. The plan raises legal and human rights questions as Rubio continues a regional tour through Costa Rica and Guatemala.
