Leave it to USA TODAY to try and toss in “but their human rights!” while El Salvador experienced a 57% reduction in homicides, businesses no longer being extorted, and families visiting the park without the risk of being kidnapped or tortured. I don’t care about their human rights when they don’t care about ours.

[Kimmykim]

their President said if you care about Human Rights take them. great President putting his law abiding citizens first. El Salvador is a safer place because of this.

[henrystan]

When those gangs terrorized and violated innocent citizens' human rights, they forfeited their own rights to even live a long time ago.

[em-dyhn]

You know who violated human rights? The inmates.

[teagarden]

YOU DON'T GET HUMAN RIGHTS WHEN YOU TAKE INNOCENT PEOPLE'S LIVES.

[starcade]

Brilliant. This is how you deal with criminals.

[johncase]

The U.S citizens "This is inhumane". Also the U.S citizens "let's lock people up on minor charges like for speeding and set a $5000 bond".

[lewis]

I once heard somebody say that people like these men can redeem themselves, all I'll say is that once that threshold of redemption has been passed, then they can no longer be redeemed, simple, and it's crazy that these human right activists protest for these men, but not the innocent families that they have tortured and killed

[douglaslamar]

"Human rights"? Seriously? You think rapists and murderers even deserve anything that could be even remotely considered a human right?

[thomaselliott]

Bukele has cleaned up that country. These gang members never gave two shits about anyone's lives. Great job.

[Griffith]

Thanks El Salvador president considering his people's human rights.

[Youtubeuserr]

This is what US needs to do in its ‘thug cities’ like Detroit, Memphis and New Orleans

[oscarsalomon]

Talking about human rights when each gang member has probably murdered at least one person in their lifetime. Ridiculous to hear this. These animals deserve the worst!

[thomasburke]

This is how you need to treat stone cold killer's. They need structure.

[felloh]

Many kudos to all these officers and soldiers, making the world safer even if it's only one country!

[Wolfenstein]

Human Rights? What better choice was there when crime was causing suffering on the scale El Salvador was experiencing? And most of the politicians weren’t lifting a finger to help. Respect to Bukele for doing what needed to be done.

[carmenalonso]

They deserve the worst. A ex family member returned to el Salvador. Lasted 3 months before he disappeared on his birthday. A gang member was seen wearing his new cap that he got from his gf. His mom and grandma were threatened to stop searching for him. They would walk around ravines alleys and the borders of their town. We can only imagine the terror this kid went thru. These animal should not have the rights to breath in my opinion. They are savages. Not long after that we started receiving calls for money. We complied. The mother and grandmother and his sisters life was now in danger. His sister left to Honduras for a bit. Of course we were financing all. Today everyone is okay. This is stuff you see only on TV. Never thought I would have an experience like this.

[durgeshnandan]

Human right is for humans not for devils..

[Raquelle]

And whose rights were they respecting ?

[jamesparker]

Their country, their business! The United States has enough problems and issues of its own to be “concerned” and “worried” about how prisoners are treated in El Salvador.
