Salvadorean soldiers patrol the streets following the government's declaration of 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. IMAGES
