By Ted Hesson WASHINGTON -More than 200 alleged members of a Venezuelan gang have been deported by the U.S. and sent to El Salvador where they were taken to a high-security prison, the Salvadoran president said on Sunday.

The Trump administration plans to pay El Salvador $6 million to keep the alleged gang members in the country's notorious prison.

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said his country has accepted hundreds of violent gang members deported from U.S. to be housed in El Salvador's notorious prison.
