El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele offered to swap 252 detained Venezuelans for political prisoners and foreign nationals held in Venezuela. He framed the deal as a humanitarian gesture aimed at freeing opposition figures and journalists.
Venezuela pushed back, demanding legal records and accusing El Salvador of violating human rights.
The U.S. has backed El Salvador’s detentions, but courts recently paused further deportations amid legal and political backlash.
