Venezuela's attorney general has launched an investigation into El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, Justice Minister Gustavo Villatoro, and the head of El Salvador's prison system, Osiris Luna, for alleged human rights abuses against Venezuelan migrants. Over 250 Venezuelan migrants, deported from the U.S. and held in El Salvador's CECOT maximum-security prison, reported mistreatment. The investigation follows the migrants' release on Friday, part of a prisoner exchange involving 10 U.S. nationals held in Venezuela. Bukele's office has yet to respond.
