El Salvador and US negotiate prisoner swap with Venezuela

More than 200 Venezuelan immigrants whom the Trump administration had sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador have been flown to Venezuela, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said in a post on X.

The move was part of a prisoner swap in which the Venezuelan government released "a considerable number of Venezuelan political prisoners … as well as all the American citizens it was holding as hostages," Bukele said, in exchange for the Venezuelan nationals who had been imprisoned in El Salvador.
