Salvadoran Catholic leader urges Bukele not to turn country into U.S. prison

El Salvador's top Catholic leader on Sunday urged President Nayib Bukele not to turn the country into a Guantanamo-style U.S. prison, after Bukele made a deal with Washington to house deported migrants from the United States in a notorious jail.

"We ask that our authorities not allow our country to become a big international prison," Jose Luis Escobar, the archbishop of San Salvador, told reporters on Easter Sunday.

Bukele's visit Monday to the White House confirmed his growing alliance with like-minded President Trump.
