Deportations to El Salvador

  • 🇺🇸 The US State Department reported that the Trump administration deported more alleged gang members to El Salvador over the weekend.
  • criminal elements with ties to Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and MS-13, including murderers and rapists, were among those deported.

Legal and Policy Challenges

  • ⚖️ This action follows President Donald Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a seldom-used wartime law, to target alleged gang members.
  • 🚫 A federal judge initially blocked the policy, a decision later upheld by a federal appeals court, leading the Trump administration to seek intervention from the US Supreme Court.
  • 🗣️ State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce declined to comment on the specific authority used for the latest deportations.

Family Denials

  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family members of some deported individuals have denied any gang affiliations for their relatives.
