EXCLUSIVE — The Congressional El Salvador Caucus is calling on the Biden administration to reduce the country’s travel advisory level, which remains high.

Over the past decade, El Salvador has gone from the murder capital of the world to one of the safest countries in the Western Hemisphere, largely due to President Nayib Bukele’s gang crackdown. Despite its murder rate now being lower than most American cities, the country’s travel advisory designation remains a Level 3, “Reconsider Travel,” the second-highest rating possible.
