President Donald Trump shared an intense video on his Truth Social app Sunday along with a message of thanks to President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador for taking hundreds of alleged criminals and gang members the United States deported.
The administration deported nearly 300 individuals alleged to be members of ultra-violent drug gangs Tren de Aragua and MS-13. President Bukele shared a video on his X account Sunday showing the accused criminals arriving in El Salvador, where they face imprisonment for at least the next year in a Terrorism Confinement Center. Trump re-shared the intense video to his Truth Social and X accounts later in the day.
Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable).

“These are the monsters sent into our Country by Crooked Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats,” Trump said in the message accompanying the video. “How dare they!”
“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,” he wrote. He concluded by saying “We will not forget!”

The Trump administration has invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to enable the mass deportation of hundreds of violent criminals and gang members, although a judge in D.C. has temporarily blocked deportations under that act in response to a lawsuit filed by the ACLU seeking to keep the alleged violent offenders in the United States.
An administration official told Axios that these deportations were initiated prior to the 14-day restraining order, saying “”We did not defy a court order. The order came too late, and illegals were already in international airspace.”
