El Salvador Cracks Down on Gang Violence |
Washington Examiner: When Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele came to power in 2019, the nation’s homicide rate had already been declining from its shocking high of 2015 — 103 murders per 100,000 population, by far the worst on earth. Beginning last March, Bukele launched a massive crackdown on gangs, more than doubling the tiny nation’s prison population in the process. The result? The homicide rate in El Salvador has plunged to new lows. Murders last year (496) were down 57% from the year prior to a rate of 7.8 per 100,000. Washington, D.C.’s rate of 28.5 murders per 100,000 is far worse(Washington Examiner). Lauren Boebert: This is how you handle criminal gangs like MS-13. Much better than having them end up at our Southern Border (Twitter). |
