President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act over the weekend to authorize the deportation of hundreds of gang members associated with Tren de Aragua and MS-13, both designated foreign terrorist organizations by the federal government.

In total, the Trump administration loaded more than 250 gang members on deportation flights to San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, under the terms of a deal with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele that will have the United States pay the small Central American nation to take foreign criminals.

The deported gang members include 238 associated with Venezuela’s violent Tren de Aragua, which flourished in the United States under the Biden administration, and 23 associated with El Salvador’s MS-13 Gang.

At the last minute, as the deportation was reportedly already carried out, federal Judge James E. Boasberg (working on behalf of the ACLU) issued a temporary restraining order blocking Trump from deporting illegal aliens using the Alien Enemies Act.

“Oopsie … too late,” Bukele posted on X regarding Boasberg’s last-minute restraining order.

Photos taken of the gang members being shuffled off the deportation flights and into El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center, known as the mega-prison CECOT, show them with masked guards escorting them through the prison with their heads down and forced onto the ground.
