Maduro has demanded the immediate release of 250 Venezuelans held in an El Salvador mega-prison built by Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele to house gang members. Maduro claimed in his weekly televised address on Monday that “Bukele is a serial violator of the right to freedom, fair treatment, and human dignity.”

He urged that Bukele, instead of an exchange, sign “a decree granting unconditional freedom” to the deportees.

For his part, Bukele in a post on X on Tuesday goaded Maduro, asking wasn’t the Venezuelan leader the one who said he’d do “whatever it takes” to secure the release of the Venezuelans detained in El Salvador.

Grilling is questioning intensely. To me that implies a real-time exchange and isn't just making statements.

I was honestly shocked it wasn’t “grilled.” That’s the one that sounds so incredibly stupid to me.

This new trend of using "slam", "blast" and "torch" in each and every headline in a cheap effort to make it more sensational annoys the living shit out of me. It's like English for toddlers...

It's real cool to see the clickbaitification of concentration camps.

These imperial propagandists have no fucking shame.

Hilarious to see Maduro pretending to stand for the right to "freedom, fair treatment, and human dignity"
