Experts on Nicole Wallace today saying that Trump has been letting high level M13 gang members go. [View all]

Some have been arrested, facing trial here in the US.
But the DOJ lets them go because they have incriminating information on Bukele.

No wonder Bukele is so happy to work with Trump.

All the stuff we see on TV are just performative stunts.
If the US really wanted to go after gangs, they would do their investigative work,
then make sophisticated, targeted arrests. Bring them to trial here in the US.

Not all the ridiculous rounding up of innocent people.
