  2025. 01.27 Trump eyes asylum agreement with El Salvador to deport migrants there - CBS News
  
  CBS news reports the Trump administration is pursuing a "Safe Third Country" agreement with El Salvador to allow the deportation of deport non-Salvadoran migrants there and block their ability to seek asylum in the U.S. This plan would revive a previous Trump 1.0 administration agreement that was never implemented and aligns with the current administration's broader efforts to restrict immigration. The partnership with El Salvador is also tied to addressing transnational gangs like Tren de Aragua, and President Nayib Bukele’s government is seen as a key ally due to its anti-gang policies.
