Trump Ignored Judicial Obstacle: Over 200 Migrants Sent to El Salvador

2 Mins Read

Despite legal barriers in the US, the administration of President Donald Trump continues to deport migrants. Over 200 individuals, alleged members of a Venezuelan gang, were sent to El Salvador.

Ignoring a federal judge’s injunction, the Trump administration deported over 250 irregular migrants to El Salvador, claiming they were linked to the Venezuelan gang “Tren de Aragua.”

The steps taken by Donald Trump’s administration in combating irregular migration in the US have remained at the forefront of the American public’s agenda. Officials from Trump’s administration deported over 250 irregular migrants allegedly linked to the Venezuelan gang “Tren de Aragua,” despite a federal judge’s injunction. These migrants had been relocated to El Salvador, with officials stating that deportation powers, historically used during wartime, were activated under a presidential executive order signed by Trump.

President Trump invoked a provision typically reserved for times of war to expedite the deportation of migrants with ties to the Venezuelan gang “Tren de Aragua.” The 1798 Alien Enemies Act grants extraordinary powers to target and deport undocumented immigrants. This law has historically been utilized during the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II to deport “active enemy aliens.” Trump’s executive order specifically targeted the gang as a “foreign terrorist organization,” mandating the apprehension and immediate deportation of individuals associated with the group.
