Introduction

The USA is sending more people back to El Salvador. The US government is working more with local police to find and remove people.

Main Body

More people are leaving the USA. In early 2026, 5,033 people went back to El Salvador. This is almost double the number from 2025. President Trump and President Bukele are working together. The USA gave El Salvador 6 million dollars. Now, El Salvador takes criminals from other countries and puts them in jail. The US government wants to catch dangerous people. They do not like 'sanctuary cities' because these cities help migrants. The US government says this is bad for safety.

Conclusion

The USA will continue to send people away. They want all police to help them, even if some leaders disagree.
