El Salvador’s President, Nayib Bukele, recently extended an invitation to Hillary Clinton following her critique of the country’s infamous CECOT mega-prison. This facility houses thousands of gang members, including those from the Tren de Aragua, who have been deported from the United States.
Clinton took to social media platform X to urge her followers to watch a new documentary by PBS titled “Surviving CECOT,” which delves into the alleged harsh conditions within the prison.
The PBS documentary should not be confused with CBS’s controversial “60 Minutes” segment, “Inside CECOT.” It raises a rhetorical question: where are the stories focusing on the American perspective, perhaps titled “Surviving the Prisoners of CECOT”?
The PBS feature narrates the experiences of three Venezuelan men labeled by the U.S. government as members of the Tren de Aragua gang. They were deported during the Trump administration to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT, known for its severe conditions.
Interestingly, all three men contest their alleged gang affiliations. This brings to mind a famous line from “The Shawshank Redemption,” where Red, played by Morgan Freeman, tells Andy Dufresne, portrayed by Tim Robbins, “Everybody’s innocent in here, didn’t you know that?”
You may be surprised to learn that all three men deny being gang members. It’s like that line in “The Shawshank Redemption” when Red (Morgan Freeman) tells Andy (Tim Robbins), “Everybody’s innocent in here, didn’t you know that?”
“Curious to learn more about CECOT?” Clinton asked. “Hear Juan, Andry, and Wilmer share firsthand how the Trump administration branded them as gang members without evidence and deported them to the brutal El Salvadoran prison.”

Now, Hill-Rod likes to turn the comments off on her X posts, so she likely felt relatively safe having posted about the “brutal” prison. She almost certainly didn’t expect the president of El Salvador himself to respond.
Bukele, however, couldn’t resist, making an offer to anyone who’d like to actually “save” these prisoners.
“If you are convinced that torture is taking place at CECOT, El Salvador is ready to cooperate fully,” he challenged in a fiery retort. “We are willing to release our entire prison population (including all gang leaders and all those described as ‘political prisoners’) to any country willing to receive them.”
The benefits would be two-fold. The perfectly innocent angels unjustly housed at CECOT would be free, AND Democrats and their media puppets would find it easier to interview them for future sob stories. Brilliant!
“Surely, if these testimonies reflect a systemic reality, a much larger pool of sources should only reinforce the claim, and many governments should be eager to offer protection,” Bukele concluded. “Until then, we will continue prioritizing the human rights of the millions of Salvadorans who today live free from gang rule.”
Madam Secretary Hillary Clinton,
If you are convinced that torture is taking place at CECOT, El Salvador is ready to cooperate fully.
We are willing to release our entire prison population (including all gang leaders and all those described as “political prisoners”) to any… https://t.co/GKHMUgeZeO

Bukele partnered with the United States to take on deported gang members, career criminals, and suspected terrorists at CECOT. Since then, the media and Democrats haven’t found a prisoner they aren’t willing to portray as an innocent victim of the Trump administration.
El Salvador’s President taunted Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) for visiting alleged gangbanger Kilmar Abrego Garcia back in April, noting the prisoner at the time had “miraculously risen from the ‘death camps’ [and] ‘torture’” for a visit with a member of Congress in his country’s “tropical paradise.”
While Hillary and her media allies chase ratings with one-sided documentaries portraying tattooed Tren de Aragua suspects as wide-eyed lambs, Bukele is spotlighting the real human rights victory—the millions of law-abiding Salvadorans and Americans protected by tough deportations who no longer live in fear.
