I think they elected a guy who threw a boatload of gang members in jail.
I’m not sure if anyone knows if all the gang members he locked up were actually in gangs yet.
Though, to be clear, El Salvador had a super horrific gang problem. The gangs were wildly murdering boatloads of people.

Yeah they’re undergoing extreme reforms on all sides. Basically improving social services while cracking down on gangs.
Now I have opinions here, as you said it doesn’t look like the most “human rights” focused crackdown, but I also don’t really see a way that this was going to change without either something like that or something like the everyday people essentially forming an anti gang gang
