The good people of El Salvador have been terrorized by gangs for decades. Now, thankfully, they finally have a leader who’s ending gang violence and making his country great again.
But of course, left-wing “humanitarian” groups are condemning President Bukele for his efforts, calling them too harsh and cruel.
One point of contention for human right groups is the new “mega prison” Bukele had built to house 40 thousand gang members. Humanitarian groups are unhappy over how gang members are being paraded around and “staged.”
The staging is impressive. The cameras focus on hundreds of men who, dressed only in white underwear, leave prisons across El Salvador to be transferred by bus to what is the flagship project of President Nayib Bukele’s security policy: the Center for the Confinement of Terrorism, a huge prison complex located on the outskirts of San Salvador and which the president heralded as “the largest prison in all of America.”
It was Bukele himself who shared the video that shows how last Friday morning imprisoned gang members were taken from their cells by guards, handcuffed and forced to walk with their bodies bent over. In the recording, the men board buses and are taken to the new maximum security prison, where they have been locked up, in a display of power against the so-called maras. “This will be their new house, where they will live for decades, mixed, without doing any more harm to the population,” the Salvadoran president said.
This is a clip of Bukele’s new mega prison that holds 40 thousand inmates.
But President Bukele isn’t stopping at just imprisoning terrorist gang members. He’s focused on destroying their entire culture. And one way he’s doing that is by literally demolishing dead gang members’ gravestones.
“Terrorists will no longer be able to ‘glorify’ the memory of dead criminals,” tweeted the minister.
The destruction started early this week in a municipal cemetery west of the capital San Salvador, to coincide with Day of the Dead commemorations held across Latin America for deceased relatives.
Though their tombstones will be removed, the gang members’ remains will be left intact, said the government.
It did not specify how many gravestones have been destroyed.
Eight months of what President Nayib Bukele has labeled a “war” on criminal groups has netted more than 55,600 suspected gangsters in a crackdown that has been welcomed and criticized in equal measure.
Charlie Kirk shared a video of officials destroying the tombstones of gang members. Bukele proudly shared this clip on his Twitter page:
The President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, sends out teams of prisoners to destroy any tombstones with gang symbols.
His reforms to end violent crime in his country have been so effective that his approval sits above 80%. pic.twitter.com/cCyInbaZt3

Bukele then responded his critics who are calling this move “heavy-handed.” He unapologetically explained exactly why he ordered these gravestones to be destroyed.

Critics be damned, President Bukele is doing the work of the people, and his “war on terrorism” is actually legit, unlike many others we’ve seen unfold…

This quote from Bukele sums up his anti-gang quest perfectly.
“They tell me that I am brave because we are facing terrorists, drug traffickers, international organizations, major world powers, the local oligarchy. And maybe I am brave compared to the parasites who governed [El Salvador] before, compared to politicians from other countries who must be just as parasitic. I am not as brave as the soldiers, the police, as those who risk their lives day after day to bring peace to the Salvadoran people and who really face terrorism, crime and evil face to face.”
That’s a true leader who’s looking out for his people. Well done, Mr. President.
