El Salvador sent over 4,000 security forces into communities on San Salvador's outskirts in pursuit of gang members as crackdowns by President Nayib Bukele's administration continue.
El Salvador sent more than 4,000 security forces into three communities on the outskirts of the capital to root out gang members Wednesday, as President Nayib Bukele prepared to request another extension of emergency powers to combat crime.

In December 2022, more than 10,000 members of the security forces entered La Campanera and other communities of the Soyapango municipality rounding up gang members.
