The Trump administration deported more members of a vicious illegal alien gang who were flown to El Salvador, where they will be held in the Latin American country’s maximum security prison for terrorists.
On Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that 17 alleged members of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang, along with MS-13 members, were transferred from Guantanamo Bay to El Salvador on Sunday night. The violent thugs included murderers and rapists.
“In order to keep the American people safe, @POTUS designated the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. These criminals will no longer terrorize our communities and citizens,” the nation’s top diplomat said in a statement posted to X.
Last night, in a successful counter-terrorism operation with our allies in El Salvador, the United States military transferred a group of 17 violent criminals from the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 organizations, including murderers and rapists.

Rubio also thanked El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and his country’s government for its “unparalleled partnership in making our countries safe against transnational crime and terrorism.”
Bukele announced that his country had accepted the human trash, sharing a video of them being welcomed to their new home.

“All individuals are confirmed murderers and high-profile offenders, including six child rapists,” the president said. “This operation is another step in the fight against terrorism and organized crime.”
Bukele’s crackdown on violent gangs has made his country one of the safest in the world, a model for others on how to get the criminals off the streets and behind bars where they belong.
The transfer comes as rogue activist Judge James Boasberg is blocking the administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Tren de Aragua members, a gang so fearsome that it has been dubbed “MS-13 on steroids.” The deportation was carried out under existing immigration law using Title 8, therefore it did not violate the restraining order imposed by the shady D.C. judge, which was extended on Friday.
All of those flown to El Salvador had final deportation orders or orders of removal, senior White House officials said, according to Fox News.
“Thank you President Bukele, of El Salvador, for taking the criminals that were so stupidly allowed, by the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, to enter our Country, and giving them such a wonderful place to live!” President Donald J. Trump said in a post to social media, also sharing the video of Tren de Aragua’s arrival in El Salvador.

Despite using a different law to deport the dangerous thugs, it could be seen as the administration thumbing its nose at Boasberg who has been accused of protecting Tren de Aragua members with his restraining order as well as to Democrats who have been championing their rights despite widespread public support for getting foreign criminals out of the country.
Trump has slammed Boasberg and other “radical left judges” for obstructing his ability to carry out the duties that the American people elected him to perform, one of them being to rid the country of the foreign criminals that disgraced ex-President Joe Biden rolled out the welcome mat for.
“People are shocked by what is going on with the Court System. I was elected for many reasons, but a principal one was LAW AND ORDER, a big part of which is QUICKLY removing a vast Criminal Network of individuals, who came into our Country through the Crooked Joe Biden Open Borders Policy!” Trump wrote in a Sunday post to Truth Social.
“These are dangerous and violent people, who kill, maim and, in many other ways, harm the people of our Country. The Voters want them OUT, and said so in Record Numbers. If it was up to District Judge Boasberg and other Radical Left Judges, nobody would be removed, the President wouldn’t be allowed to do his job, and people’s lives would be devastated all throughout our Country,” he continued.
“Every day, America becomes safer, thanks to the leadership of President Trump,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to Fox News. “If you’re an illegal terrorist or criminal – the Trump administration is coming for you.”
