The Trump administration deported more than 200 alleged members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan prison gang, to El Salvador over the weekend. This decision was made following a proclamation issued by President Trump invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, allowing for the deportation of individuals from enemy nations during wartime.
Among those deported were also 2 alleged leaders of the MS-13 gang, originating from El Salvador. The deportations were praised by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele expressing gratitude for the collaboration.
However, the deportations faced legal challenges, with a federal judge in D.C. issuing an emergency order to halt further deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. Despite the ongoing legal battle, the Trump administration has appealed the judge’s rulings to the U.S. Court of Appeals.
The deportations underscore the administration’s strong stance on combating gang violence and criminal activity within the United States.
