Points to resolve

 * Whether the extension was done by the Security Cabinet without discussion or by the Legislative Assembly

Additional info to refind and add or refine

 * El Hormiguero is a hamlet
 * Names of other hamlets/villages searched
 * According to https://www.diariocolatino.com/nueva-concepcion-con-cerco-militar/, the state of emergency was extended by government request, but I have my doubts about the source's reliability. ("Minutos después" is apparently incorrect and evidently sensational.) Wonder if there's another source for that.
 * https://www.france24.com/es/am%C3%A9rica-latina/20230517-nayib-bukele-despliega-5-000-militares-tras-el-asesinato-de-un-polic%C3%ADa-en-el-salvador says it was extended at the request of Bukele, but only in the byline: not going to rely on that
 * https://www.elsalvador.com/noticias/nacional/cerco-nueva-concepcion-solo-reporta-hallazgo-tres-radios/1062183/2023/ identifies Nueva Concepción with Hollywood Locos, but https://diario.elmundo.sv/nacionales/reportan-50-capturas-en-cerco-militar-de-nueva-concepcion says all arrested gang members were Fultón Locos. Some sources noted that some gang members fled to Nueva Concepción after the start of the crackdown.
 * "el gobierno ha presumido una narrativa de 365 días sin homicidios" https://www.elsalvador.com/noticias/nacional/cerco-militar-nueva-concepcion-chalatenango-asesinato-policia/1061607/2023/
 * Bukele attacked human rights NGOs in connection with this incident (see https://lapagina.com.sv/nacionales/un-policia-muere-tras-ataque-de-mareros-en-nueva-concepcion-chalatenango/, https://english.elpais.com/international/2023-05-17/nayib-bukele-doubles-down-on-his-anti-gang-offensive-after-an-officer-was-murdered-in-el-salvador.html, among others)
 * DW says that forces were deployed in the morning (https://www.dw.com/es/el-salvador-env%C3%ADa-m%C3%A1s-de-5000-efectivos-a-nueva-concepci%C3%B3n/a-65666664), but Bukele said that night (https://twitter.com/nayibbukele/status/1662661792831533056?s=20). Bukele announced the operation in the morning, and DW may have conflated the two, but will probably still follow DW unless another source confirms that night, since Bukele would benefit from exaggerating the swiftness of the response. Or might just say "in response" or something that doesn't commit to a timeframe.
 * Actually, as it turns out, Bukele himself "this morning" in that initial tweet
 * https://www.laprensagrafica.com/amp/elsalvador/EN-VIVO-Presentan-a-acusados-de-asesinar-a-un-policia-en-Nueva-Concepcion-Chalatenango-20230526-0063.html also says the next morning
 * Other police activity besides just searching vehicles
 * Also how exactly that worked, because I got multiple diverging descriptions
 * https://diario.elmundo.sv/nacionales/despliegan-5500-militares-y-policias-en-cerco-de-nueva-concepcion-tras-asesinato-de-agente mentioned that sieges were part of phase five of the crackdown
 * According to https://www.elsalvador.com/noticias/nacional/cerco-nueva-concepcion-solo-reporta-hallazgo-tres-radios/1062183/2023/, government social media published many images of the police/military patrolling and establishing checkpoints during the initial days
 * https://lapagina.com.sv/nacionales/instalan-cerco-de-seguridad-en-nueva-concepcion-chalatenango-tras-asesinato-de-policia/ identifies first arrest as Fulton Locos members
 * https://www.infobae.com/america/mundo/2023/05/17/nayib-bukele-impuso-un-cerco-militar-a-una-ciudad-salvadorena-donde-asesinaron-a-un-policia/ says the operation began in La Cruz. The source also says that four police officers have been murdered since the start of the crackdown. Because the source contains other mistakes, not going to rely on it for these.
 * https://www.infobae.com/america/mundo/2023/05/17/nayib-bukele-impuso-un-cerco-militar-a-una-ciudad-salvadorena-donde-asesinaron-a-un-policia/ mentions houses being searched, attributing the claim to local sources. I'll see what I can find.

 * History of gang activity in NC
 * https://www.laprensagrafica.com/elsalvador/Van-30-arrestos-en-cerco--Nueva-Concepcion-segun-la-PNC-20230522-0099.html says that other gang members fled there after crackdown
 * https://diario.elmundo.sv/nacionales/arrestan-a-tres-pandilleros-ms-por-el-asesinato-de-policia-en-nueva-concepcion notes that the detained are being housed in CECOT. Not sure it's important enough to add.
