TL;DR:
Bukele says he’ll free the ~250 kidnapped/wrongfully imprisoned Venezuelans, if Maduro releases the same number of Venezuelans from Venezuelan prisons - primarily imprisoned political dissidents.
Bukele’s administration also is pushing for wrongfully imprisoned passport holders from other nations to be freed from Venezuelan prisons, though it’s less clear if that’s a stipulation of the same agreement.

Overall it’s not the most heinous thing I’ve seen, but my understanding of South American politics is limited as someone from North America.
political dissidents.
I think you mean CIA/fascist assets.
Does anybody actually believe that bukele cares about political freedom? jfc.
Like I said, my understanding of South American politics is limited.
While Wikipedia can be prone to bias of course, it seems Maduro has been described as an autocrat and the UN has put Venezuela on human rights watchlists, and Venezuelans have fled the country for reasons similar to what the US seems to be aiming to achieve in the past three months.
Arguably it can be considered evil to force those kidnapped back into the same country they tried to flee instead of freeing them and offering them asylum, but here we are.
Things that evil people propose.
It’s a meaningful change from his prior stance that the prisoners would die in CECOT
Sure. Just put forth a condition you know will never be met.
I hope Venezuela agrees out of spite for the US, but I doubt it will happen.
Wow what a hero. jfc.
NYTrash doing PR for fascists? Completely normal.
