🇺🇸🤝🇸🇻 — The U.S. government expresses its support for El Salvador's constitutional reform, which allows for the president's indefinite reelection, and rejects any comparison of the Central American country to a dictatorship:

“The Legislative Assembly of El Salvador was democratically elected to advance the interests and policies of its constituents. The decision to make constitutional changes is theirs. It is theirs to decide how their country should be governed.

We reject the comparison of El Salvador's democratically based and constitutionally sound legislative process with illegitimate dictatorial regimes elsewhere in our region.”

🇦🇷❗️🇧🇷🏴‍☠️ — The government of Argentine President Javier Milei has announced a task force to combat the presence of the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) in Argentina, aiming to prevent infiltration by the Brazilian criminal organization.

➡️ The announcement was made by Minister of National Security Patricia Bullrich during a press conference alongside the newly appointed director of the Federal Investigation Department (DFI) of the Argentine Federal Police, Commissioner General Pascual Mario Bellizzi.

💥 According to Bullrich, investigations have uncovered typical PCC practices within Argentine prisons, including initiation and baptism rituals in which new faction members receive a registration number — methods that replicate the PCC’s modus operandi in Brazil.

➡️ Bellizzi noted that there is not yet significant circulation of PCC-affiliated criminals in Argentina, but authorities will maintain surveillance with the goal of preventing their establishment in the country “at all costs,” stating that such groups are “extremely violent and bring crime with them.”
