El Salvador's top Catholic leader on Sunday urged President Nayib Bukele not to turn the country into a Guantanamo-style U.S. prison.

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele proposed carrying out a prisoner swap with Venezuela on Sunday, suggesting he would exchange Venezuelan deportees from the United States his government has kept imprisoned

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele proposed a swap in which more than 200 Venezuelan migrants deported there from the US would be traded for the same number of political prisoners held by Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

While the order is temporary, its issuance was nonetheless extraordinary, coming in the middle of the night as prisoners were already being bused to an airport to be shipped to El Salvador.

President Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court to roll back its decision to block the deportation of Venezuelans to a notorious prison in El Salvador, arguing that the early-morning order was overbroad and premature.

The case raises questions about the Trump administration's adherence to limits set by the Supreme Court. It carries the risk of a significant clash between the two coequal branches of government and potentially a full-blown constitutional crisis.
