El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele is offering to accept all criminal deportees from the U.S. regardless of their nation of origin, in addition to offering prison space for Americans behind bars. 

The offer follows Secretary of State Marco Rubio meeting Monday with Bukele, whose country is part of the Northern Triangle of Central America, from which many migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border come. 

"We have offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system," Bukele wrote on the social media platform, X. "We are willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted U.S. citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee. The fee would be relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable.

Rubio met with Bukele in El Salvador where they discussed the prison system, crime and illegal immigration. He says the U.S. has no plans to deport American citizens, according to The Associated Press.

El Salvador was once known as the "murder capital" of the world. One of Bukele's main issues was changing that and making significant reforms, including imprisoning more criminals and allowing the government to crack down more on crime.

Some have criticized Bukele's policies for being too harsh and even corrupt. 

The State Department has described the overcrowded prisons in El Salvador as “harsh and dangerous.”
