In March 2023, Salvadoran authorities carried out a second massive transfer of gang members to the CECOT, the mega-prison recently inaugurated by the government. Hundreds of inmates, mainly from the MS-13 and Barrio 18 groups, were moved under heavy security. This high-profile operation is part of President Nayib Bukele’s zero-tolerance policy against organized crime. The transfer was carefully coordinated by the military and national police, under the watchful eyes of the media and the public, marking a new stage in El Salvador’s relentless fight against gangs.
