flag U.S. transferred informants to El Salvador under a security deal, sparking safety and trust concerns.

flag The U.S. State Department is facing criticism for transferring American informants to El Salvador as part of a security agreement that granted U.S. officials access to the country’s high-security National Civilian Prison. flag The move, linked to efforts to combat transnational gangs like MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, has raised serious concerns among current and former Justice Department officials about the safety of informants and the long-term impact on U.S. intelligence operations. flag While the administration defended the deal as effective in removing criminal migrants and strengthening cooperation, critics argue it undermines trust in U.S. promises of protection and may hinder future investigations. flag El Salvador’s government has not commented, but a U.S.-based lobbyist claimed the transferred individuals were dangerous terrorists. flag The lack of transparency has fueled debate over the ethical and legal risks of such international intelligence arrangements.
