The administration did not ‘refuse to comply’ with a court order. The order, which had no lawful basis, was issued after terrorist TdA aliens had already been removed from U.S. territory,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. TdA refers to the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua

El Salvador’s President, Nayib Bukele, announced on Sunday that 238 members of the gang were transferred to the “Terrorism Confinement Center” for a year. Bukele stated that the country is advancing in the fight against organized crime, assisting allies, making its prison system self-sustaining, and gathering vital intelligence to make the country safer.

President Donald Trump hailed Bukele for receiving the accused gang members while blaming former President Joe Biden for allowing them enter the United States. “These are the monsters brought to our country by Crooked Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats. “How dare they!” President Trump said. “Thank you to El Salvador and, in particular, President Bukele, for your understanding of this terrible situation, which was allowed to occur in the United States due to incompetent Democratic leadership. “We won’t forget!” Late last week, President Trump issued an executive order authorizing him to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport the accused gang members. While the judge halted Trump’s authority, his administration claims the planes were already in the air when the ruling came down.
