‘We discovered altars’: President of El Salvador says violent gangs actually worship Satan

Many, many gang members from central and South America, and other points, have infiltrated the United States, largely under Joe Biden’s open borders policies, over the past few years.

They are known for their extreme violence, crime, aggressive agendas and demands for money.

After all, one gang, Tren de Aragua, actually took over apartment buildings in Colorado, collected the rent from tenants then kept the money instead of giving it to building owners.

The human trafficking, sex assaults and abuse, and financial ripoffs essentially are common knowledge.

But Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, from which some of the gang members come to the United States, said it’s even worse.

In an address at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington Thursday, he confirmed, “Many people don’t know that our enemy was not just the flesh and blood, but spiritual as well. The gangs didn’t just murder, rape, extort. They also worship Satan,” he revealed. “It’s straight up. Literally. When we went to their homes to arrest them, we discovered altars that were used for satanic rituals.”

He explained, “This is well documented. We put up the pictures, the videos right away. But for some reason, the global mainstream media didn’t think it was worth it to cover it. But we know gangs in El Salvador were satanic and they worshiped Satan.”

A posting at Fox News included his comments:

The report explained Bukele previously has warned that his country’s security forces found alleged “satanic” altars linked to MS-13 gang members.

And these are the gang members who found, or are finding, their way into the U.S., he warned.

Bukele has been part of the resolution to America’s problem with illegal alien criminals, including gang members, because he reached an agreement with the U.S. in 2025 to take Venezuelan gang members from the United States and house them in El Salvador’s high security prison facilities.

He credited “prison time and law-and-order policies” with reversing a crime surge in his country, changing it into “the safest country in the whole continent.”
