After a plane carrying suspected members of a Venezuelan gang landed in El Salvador on Sunday, March 16, Donald Trump was in a good mood.
Despite a federal judge’s decision to overturn the order, the Trump administration issued an order to transfer 238 alleged criminals to a mega-prison in El Salvador.
The administration denied that the plane had disobeyed anyone, but this decision was made after it had entered international territory.
Because the US administration claimed the US was facing an “invasion” by a criminal organization with ties to kidnapping, contract killings, and other organized crimes, Trump was authorized to deport the alleged members of Tren de Aragua thanks to an 18th-century legislation designed for wartime.
