US Deports Hundreds Of Members Of Venezuela Gang Tren de Aragua To El Salvador Despite Judge Ruling

The Donald Trump administration has sent more than 200 Venezuelans back to a large prison in El Salvador, despite a federal judge’s order for their return to the US. Trump had tried to invoke the rarely used Wartime Aliens Act to quickly deport alleged members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang connected to kidnapping, extortion, and contract killings. But Judge James Boasberg blocked the use of the law for 14 days, saying the statute refers to “hostile acts” perpetrated by another country that are “commensurate to war.”00:00 Introduction00:31 Deported Venezuelan gang members sent to El Salvador’s mega-prison1:04 Judge temporarily blocks use of alien enemies act2:22 Venezuelan government condemns deportation of alleged gang members n18oc_world n18oc_crux
