with 3,000 brokers Bukele responds to experiences of robberies in 5 neighborhoods

A safety fence was not too long ago erected in response to complaints from residents in Apopa, El Salvador, the place gangs like MS-13 and Barrio 18 are prevalent. The authorities of El Salvador deployed 2,000 troopers and 1,000 law enforcement officials armed with rifles to 5 neighborhoods in quest of gang remnants. President Nayib Bukele introduced the operation on social media, showcasing photographs of officers patrolling the streets. The police confirmed the arrest of 4 Barrio 18 gang members in the course of the operation. This initiative is an element of a bigger effort by Bukele’s authorities to fight gang violence, which has led to the arrest of over 80,000 suspected gang members. Despite criticism from human rights teams, the operation has introduced peace to the streets and elevated Bukele’s recognition among the many public. The police deployment was met with some skepticism, with issues raised concerning the validity of the arrests and the general affect on human rights within the nation.
