Salvadoran immigration expert Napoleon Campos thinks the move is unconstitutional and that the constitutional chamber of El Salvador's Supreme Court "should act".

Mr Campos believes the idea of a black hole of rights in El Salvador applies beyond the confines of the Cecot – to the nation as a whole.

"El Salvador today is a deep black hole of illegalities, of violations of the fundamental freedoms and liberties enshrined under our constitution and under the Inter-American Convention on Human Rights," Mr Campos insists.

Councilmember Liz Campos, who introduced the Community Autonomy, Rights and Equality Policy, pulled it from consideration.

Campos told The Times before the meeting that the ordinance was intentionally sweeping in scope to protect “communities under attack by a president who thinks that he can use executive orders to change the Constitution.”
