Bukele intensifies war on gangs: 2,000 more inmates transferred to ‘biggest prison in all America’

2,000 gang suspects have been transferred to a maximum security prison in El Salvador.

The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, announced the news on Wednesday with a slickly produced video posted on social media.

The prison, located 45 miles southeast of San Salvador, was opened just over a month ago.

The crackdown on gangs has been widely criticized by human rights groups.
