Quick Summary

President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador unveiled plans to release up to 50% of individuals incarcerated since March 2022 under a state of emergency aimed at combating violent gangs. This period saw over 90,000 arrests as part of efforts to curb rising violence, which has since led to a significant reduction in the country’s homicide rate.
