00:00The President, in an act of extraordinary friendship to our country, knowing the challenges

00:06we face in the U.S., has agreed to the most unprecedented and extraordinary migratory

00:13agreement anywhere in the world.

00:16First, obviously, he continues with full cooperation on the returning of Salvadorans who find themselves

00:22illegally in the United States and welcome them back home, and that's already existing

00:26and that will continue.

00:28Second, he has agreed to accept for deportation any illegal alien in the United States who

00:35is a criminal from any nationality, be they MS-13 or Trinidad-Agua, and house them in

00:41his jails.

00:42Third, he has offered to house in his jails dangerous American criminals in custody in

00:52our country, including those of U.S. citizenship and legal residence.

00:57No country has ever made an offer of friendship such as this.

01:00Any unlawful illegal immigrant in the United States who is a dangerous criminal, MS-13,

01:06Trinidad-Agua, whatever it may be, he has offered his jails so he can send them in and

01:10he will put them in his jails.

01:12And he's also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving

01:18their sentences in the United States, even if they're U.S. citizens or legal residents.

01:23We are just profoundly grateful.

01:25I spoke to President Trump about this earlier today, and it's just one more sign of what

01:29an incredible friend we have here in President Bukele.
