The United States is deporting more members of alleged gangs to El Salvador

The US State Department said that the Trump administration has deported 17 alleged gang members to El Salvador, despite the legal battles to remove people to Supermax Prison in Central America.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the group included members of Tren De Aragua and MS-13 gangs.

Salvadori government officials told the BBC that they included a mixture of Venezuelans and El Salvadorians.

Earlier this month, the court ordered the suspension of deportations that were carried out under the Law of Foreign Enemies, and Law 1798 was previously used in wartime only. However, the American media reported, noting the sources of the administration, that the recent deportations were carried out under the laws of general immigration.

In a statement, Rubio said that the group included “murderers and rapists”, but it did not provide the names or details of the alleged crimes or any convictions.

In a post on X, the President of El Salvador Nayeb participated in a largely released video clip showing restricted men loaded from a plane and their heads are shaved before they are placed in prison cells.

“All individuals are confirming the killers and prominent criminals, including six rapists for children.” “This process is another step in combating terrorism and organized crime.”

President Trump has republished the message, blamed his predecessor Joe Biden for allowing those ’pans to enter the United States and thanked Boukley for” giving them a great place to live. “

El Salvador agreed to take the two departments for $ 6 million (4.6 million pounds).

Family members in some of those who were previously sent to the maximum security prison have denied that they had any gang links.

After Trump summoned the law of foreign enemies to remove more than 100 Venezuelan from the United States earlier this month, groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, provided a legal challenge claiming that the administration illegally rejected the obligatory immigrants.

At a hearing on March 15, James Boasberg, the highest federal judge in Washington, DC, imposed temporary temporary on the use of the law and the order of deportations that were in the air.

But the deportation continued. The next session will be held in the case on Thursday.
