With Trump as ally, El Salvador's President ramps up crackdown on dissent.

Observers say Nayib Bukele emboldened by alliance with U.S. President Donald Trump .

Authorities in El Salvador have targeted outspoken lawyers like Enrique Anaya .

Anaya was detained by authorities on unproven accusations of money laundering.

In late May , El Salvador’s Congress passed a “foreign agents’ law, championed by the populist president.

It resembles legislation implemented by governments in Nicaragua , Venezuela , Russia , Belarus and China to silence and criminalize dissent.

The U.S. Embassy in El Salvador has remained silent throughout the arrests and lingering threats.
