All this information is very unspecific. There have been a handful of fake sounding news stories floating around lately, like the one about the young man from New Mexico who was supposedly "arrested by border patrol in Tuscon, AZ" and "held for 10 days." But they also said that he failed to provide any identification, which in itself is a crime in some states. It's all very iffy information that was provided, similar to the iffy story that you shared.

That's so iffy because it's not illegal to be gay in El Salvador. Sounds like the media is trying to conflate homosexuality laws of Nigeria with any country that the TV view doesn't reside in.
