The translation Safari provides is pretty accurate. The summary is basically that Bukele made an arrangement with MS-13 agents so that they’d stop shooting people in public (giving the appearance of less crime), vote for him, give politicians money and prostitutes, etc. He’d give them more relaxed restrictions in jail and even release some of them. Now the Trump admin is dropping charges against MS-13 members who committed crimes in the US because Bukele doesn’t want any elements of this…

agreement ending up in US court records. A good article in English about the whole thing is “‘Delay, Interfere, Undermine:’ How El Salvador’s Government Impeded a U.S. Probe of MS-13” from ProPublica
