In a post on X, Bukele asked that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro hand over 252 “of the political prisoners you are holding,“ under his proposed deal.
Venezuela’s Ministry of Communication did not respond to a request for comment.
He also mentioned nearly 50 detainees of other nationalities, including U.S., German and French citizens, as part of the proposed exchange.
Bukele said his Foreign Ministry would formally present the proposal to the Venezuelan government through diplomatic channels.
The Venezuelan government has said it has no political prisoners and that imprisoned people have been convicted of crimes. However, non-governmental organizations claim that more than 800 people are detained for political reasons.
On Saturday, the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting another group of Venezuelan migrants accused of gang ties under a rarely used wartime law, issuing a stay after the American Civil Liberties Union asked the court to intervene on an emergency basis.
The Trump administration pressed the Supreme Court to reject the ACLU’s request on the migrants’ behalf, once they review the matter further. White House officials said the president remains committed to his immigration crackdown, but gave no indication the administration would defy the court’s decision.
