United States deports 238 suspected Venezuelan gang members linked to Tren de Aragua organization in El Salvador suddenly

United States deports 238 suspected Venezuelan gang members linked to Tren de Aragua organization in El Salvador suddenly. Upon arrival individuals got transferred straight away into El Salvador’s notoriously brutal CECOT prison a vast high-security facility.

Deportations occurred rapidly under 1998 Alien Enemy Act a law historically utilized during tumultuous periods like World War II. U. S. government declared Tren de Aragua a national security risk due to alleged illicit activities occurring beneath their radar frequently.

Enforcement of this law hit a snag recently under U. S. District Judge James Bosberg who imposed a brief 14-day block. ACLU strongly opposes this move, urging government compliance with court order, citing potential egregious human rights infringement issues.

Hundreds of gang members have already arrived in El Salvador and are being held at CECOT facility under pretty harsh conditions apparently. El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele confirmed arrival of deportees and shared a video showing handcuffed prisoners escorted off plane. Marco Rubio revealed over 250 Tren de Aragua members and 23 MS-13 gang members were deported back recently. United States agreed pay $6 million housing 300 prisoners El Salvador over a year apparently via some facilitation mechanisms.

Venezuelan government vehemently denounces these deportations as blatant violation of migrants’ rights under dubious U. S. authority somehow. Ongoing efforts by U. S. government spark intense debates over immigration policies and human rights protections amidst rising transnational crime rates somehow.
