Bukele Proposes Prisoner Swap With Venezuela Involving U.S.-Deported Migrants

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele on Sunday proposed a controversial prisoner exchange with Venezuela, suggesting the return of 252 Venezuelans deported from the U.S. and currently imprisoned in El Salvador. In return, he called for the release of political prisoners held by the Venezuelan government. The offer marks a bold diplomatic move that ties migration issues to human rights concerns in Venezuela, potentially setting the stage for a broader international dialogue.
