They recently (<2 years ago) arrested basically every criminal in the country and have the highest incarceration rate in the world by far. It’s a bit controversial internationally but the El Salvadorian people love it.
All I can say is visit now while it’s a well kept secret. I’ve never felt safer in a Latin American country. it’s beautiful, cheap and authentic. It feels like a country on the rise. While driving there it felt like everything was under construction (in a good way)
