14,000 alleged gang members have been arrested in El Salvador, according to its government, as part of a severe crackdown after a killing spree left dozens dead. The president has also threatened to increase punishments on inmates in the country’s notoriously tough jails. The move comes alongside a sweeping new law aimed at censoring press reporting on the #gangs. #elsalvador #prison #guerracontrapandillas #bukele
