Personally, I think it’s scarier than street crime.
The sentence directly above: "Bukele has ruled under emergency powers since 2022, suspending key civil liberties, including due process, to crack down on gangs. In a country of 6.3 million people, one in every 57 Salvadorans is now incarcerated—the highest prison rate in the world."
