US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the mastermind and enforcer of the Trump administration's plans for Latin America, is the son of Cuban immigrants. During the election campaign, he explained that his parents had arrived in the US in 1959 fleeing persecution by the Castro regime. This was a lie Rubio spread to win votes among the anti-Castro Cuban community: in reality, his parents arrived in the US in 1956 (he was born in 1971), and the Rubio family had little or nothing to do with the resistance against Fidel Castro's dictatorship. They did, however, have a curious experience in the mid-1980s, when Marco Rubio was fourteen: his family lived temporarily in a house that served as a cocaine warehouse for a drug trafficking gang led by Orlando Cicilia, who was the current Secretary of State's brother-in-law. This fact alone establishes a stronger connection between Marco Rubio ("Narco Rubio," an easy joke in Miami) and drug trafficking than that between Colombian President Gustavo Petro, whom Trump has singled out as the next to receive a fanciful visit from the DEA and Delta Force in the wee hours of the morning, with deaths.

A few months ago, the magazine The Lighthouse published interviews in which former leaders of gangs like Mara Salvatrucha revealed their pact with Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, to get him votes in exchange for money and prison benefits. The president who put an end to gangs in El Salvador came to power thanks to them. And intends to stay, as demonstrated by the constitutional reform approved this Friday to eliminate term limits and remain in power. The revelation of these interviews forced all the editors ofThe Lighthouse to go into exile. Editor-in-chief Óscar Martínez visited Barcelona to participate in a debate at the Barcelona Center for Contemporary Culture (CCCB). Bukele with the bands for his election.

He President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, has received the support of his American counterpart, Donald Trump, in his particular "war on gangs"In a gesture almost unprecedented in history, Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. to deport 238 inmates to the Central American country members of the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua. Without specifying whether they were convicted or what crimes they were accused of, they were dragged from a plane by heavily armed men. Chained hand and foot, they were taken to the Terrorist Confinement Center, where they were made to kneel and shaved bald while being forced to give their names. They were then taken to one of the large cells of this impregnable mega-prison in Tecoluca, 80 kilometers from the capital of the Central American country.
