Trump Thanks El Salvador for Taking In Alleged Gang Members Deported From US; El Salvador’s Trump-Friendly President Mocks US Judge’s Deportation Pause with Clip of Migrants Herded Into His Prison
Trump thanks El Salvador for taking in alleged gang members deported from US:
President Donald Trump thanked El Salvador on Sunday after the country’s president shared dramatic video of hundreds of alleged migrant criminals landing in Central America after being deported from the U.S.
Trump, who recently invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which allows the deportation of natives and citizens of an enemy nation without a hearing, thanked Nayib Bukele on social media.
“Thank you to El Salvador and, in particular, President Bukele, for your understanding of this horrible situation, which was allowed to happen to the United States because of incompetent Democrat leadership,” Trump wrote. “We will not forget!”
Trump also referred to the apprehended migrants as “the monsters sent into our Country by Crooked Joe Bide:n and the Radical Left Democrats.”
A senior Trump administration official confirmed to Fox News that a total of 261 illegal aliens were deported to El Salvador yesterday – 137 were via the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, 101 were Venezuelans removed via Title 8, 21 were Salvadoran MS-13 gang members and two were MS-13 ringleaders and “special cases” for El Salvador, according to the official.
The rap sheets for those removed included kidnapping, sexual abuse of a child, aggravated assault, prostitution, robbery and aggravated assault of a police officer.
A Trump administration official also confirmed to Fox News that the planes carrying the migrants were already outside of U.S. airspace when a federal judge ordered the planes to return.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered an immediate stop to Trump’s efforts to deport the alleged gang members so he could have more time to consider if Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act was illegal. —>READ MORE HERE
El Salvador’s Trump-Friendly President Mocks US Judge’s Deportation Pause with Clip of Migrants Herded Into His Prison:
El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele mocked a US federal judge Sunday following a ruling that blocked President Donald Trump from invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport suspected migrant gang members.
Trump invoked the obscure 18th Century law to deport suspected members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua. Saturday, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued an order preventing the Trump administration from using the act for deportations.
Boasberg also ordered deportations planes that had already left the country to turn back – something that did not happen.
Bukele shared a screenshot of a New York Post report on Boasberg’s order and reacted with a laughing emoji. He commented, “Oopsie… Too late.”

Moments later, Bukele shared a statement from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that read, “We have sent 2 dangerous top MS-13 leaders plus 21 of its most wanted back to face justice in El Salvador. Also, as promised by @POTUS, we sent over 250 alien enemy members of Tren de Aragua which El Salvador has agreed to hold in their very good jails at a fair price that will also save our taxpayer dollars. President @nayibbukele is not only the strongest security leader in our region, he’s also a great friend of the U.S. Thank you!” —>READ MORE HERE
