I read $6M and, in another written source, $15M. These recent immigrants were flown in C-17 military cargo planes which cost approx $28,500 per hour to fly. It takes approx 10-13 hours to fly to El Salvador from the US (do not know the departure airport), twice as long as a commercial plane. This info was in El Paso Times quoting Reuters.

General aid - Nearly $6.6 million in assistance, including $2 million in International Disaster Assistance (IDA) humanitarian assistance for risk communication, water, sanitation, and hygiene; $2 million in Economic Support Funds (ESF) to address the second-order impacts of the pandemic in El Salvador through creating jobs and increasing access to credit, both critical factors in driving illegal immigration to the United States; and nearly $2.6 million in health assistance to address the pandemic.
