El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele offered to open his country's infamous Cecot mega-prison to American deportees of any nationality, including U.S. citizens currently jailed domestically for violent crimes.

The offer is part of the most "unprecedented, extraordinary migratory agreement anywhere in the world" Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he would accept the offer "in a heartbeat" with a legal justification.
