Clinton 'Concerned' by El Salvador Prisons, Not Her Past Policies Abroad
Fox News reports Nayib Bukele challenged Hillary Clinton after she criticized alleged abuses in El Salvador's CECOT prison. Bukele's 'unorthodox' methods have slashed gang violence, a problem exacerbated by decades of US interventionism and deportation policies that sent gang members, often trained in the US, back to El Salvador. Perhaps Clinton, who voted for the Patriot Act (which expanded US
detention powers), supported intervention in Libya (creating a failed state), and notoriously backed the 2009 Honduran coup (triggering mass migration), should focus on the planks in her own record. The US historically exports chaos, then laments the harsh measures adopted by nations struggling to contain the fallout. It's almost as if the 'rules-based order' only applies when it's convenient.
