Trump ordered the arrest and deportation of all Venezuelan migrants over 14 on Saturday, suspected of joining Tren de Aragua – 1 of the most dangerous Venezuelan gangs. He besides referred to the Bill of 1798, allowing the expulsion of citizens of war-war states.
On Sunday, the Salvadoran authorities confirmed the arrival of 238 alleged members of Tren de Aragua and 23 alleged members of the MS-13 gang. They were deported from the United States despite the ruling of national justice James Boasberg, who ordered temporary blockade of deportation for 14 days to find whether they were legal.
Several legal experts assessed in an interview with the Reuter Agency that carrying out deportation meant questioning the independency of the judiciary.
Tom Homan, an authoritative of the White House, called the “car from the border”, defended these actions. — We'll make this country safe again. We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think. I don't care what the left thinks," said Fox News on air.

The White home says national judges have no authority to block deportation. The Ministry of Justice argues that there was no breach of the prohibition due to the fact that the judge's written ruling was issued erstwhile the aircraft with the deportees were already in the air. The hotel besides requests that Boasberg be removed from the case.
W The El Salvadorans went to the Terrorist detention centre (CECOT), a maximum safety prison built in 2022. as part of a fight against local gangs. According to media information, the U.S. is expected to pay El Salvador $6 million to put migrants there for a year.
The Trump administration's decision criticized Venezuelan authorities. The president of the parliament, Jorge Rodriguez, stated on Monday that the deportations had no fair trial and it is unclear whether they committed any crimes in the United States or El Salvador. He described them as “criminal against humanity” in a advanced safety prison in Salvador.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, on the another hand, stated that all deportees were in the United States illegally, and if 1 of them is found not to be a associate of the Tren de Aragua, the authorities of El Salvador will be able to send him back to Venezuela.
