Salvadorean soldiers patrol the streets following the government's declaration of state of emergency, in San Salvador, on March 27, 2022. - Salvadoran lawmakers declared a state of emergency at President Nayib Bukele's request, curtailing civil liberties and expanding police power for as much as 30 days, as the country faces a wave of gang-related bloodshed that has left dozens dead in just two days. The declaration -- approved by a large majority -- restricts free assembly, the inviolability of correspondence and communications, and allows for arrests without a warrant.
