More than 600 suspected gang members have been arrested in El Salvador, and authorities have decided to feed the prisoners after a series of murders over the weekend.
After 87 murders on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the government declared a state of emergency and closed prisons.
Authorities blamed gang members for the killings, and officials said on Monday soldiers and police raided gang strongholds in the capital, San Salvador.
The National Police said they arrested five leaders of the Mara Salvatrucha, or “MS-13” gang, over the weekend, which they claim ordered the killing.
President Najib Boukeleh said these detainees would not be released and ordered that food for gang members’ prison inmates be reduced to just two meals a day, apparently to squeeze available food supplies to feed new detainees.
“Do not think that they will be released. We will distribute the same provisions to the prisoners as we are giving now,” he wrote on his Twitter account.
“If the international community is worried about their little angels, let them come and get them food… because I won’t cut money from the school budget to feed these terrorists,” the president added.

Earlier on Sunday, Congress accepted its agent’s request to declare a state of emergency, with 87 gang murders over the weekend versus 79 murders during February.
The declaration of a state of emergency led to the suspension of constitutional guarantees for parliamentary action and the reduction of detention rules to 30 days, but this period could be extended.
The decree allows suspects to be detained without a lawyer for up to 15 days and allows police to check cell phones and messages.
The murders appear to be linked to the country’s notorious street gangs, which effectively control many of the capital’s neighborhoods.
