The Biden-appointed judge attempted to halt the deportation of hundreds of violent gang members from the United States, but the criminals were already en route to El Salvador. President Nayib Bukele welcomed the deportees into his high-security prison, ensuring they won’t return to American streets.
Key Facts:
- El Salvador has accepted 238 members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang, and 23 MS-13 members from the U.S.
- The deportees were sent to El Salvador’s CECOT prison, a maximum-security facility housing violent criminals.
- U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered the deportations to stop, but the flights had already landed in El Salvador.
- The State Department designated both Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as foreign terrorist organizations.
- Sen. Marco Rubio praised Bukele for taking the criminals and saving American taxpayers money.
The Rest of The Story:
President Trump, using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, authorized the deportation of gang members who had infiltrated U.S. communities.
Tren de Aragua and MS-13 have terrorized American cities, with operations in Colorado, Texas, California, and Maryland.
Trump’s move was an aggressive response to the border crisis, ensuring these criminals wouldn’t be released back into the U.S.
However, Judge James Boasberg intervened, attempting to stop the deportations by citing due process concerns.
His order came too late—flights carrying hundreds of criminals had already landed in El Salvador.
Bukele, known for his tough-on-crime policies, mocked the judge’s ruling, stating, “Oopsie… too late.”
El Salvador’s CECOT prison, where the gang members are being held, is one of the world’s most secure facilities.
Inmates are cut off from outside communication, and the prison operates under a strict work program, preventing gang activity from spreading.
Today, the first 238 Tren de Aragua criminals and 23 dangerous MS-13 members—including top ringleaders—arrived at El Salvador’s CECOT prison from the U.S.

Commentary:
This is a clear example of how the right leadership can restore law and order.
Trump took decisive action to remove dangerous criminals from our streets, yet a liberal judge still tried to sabotage the effort.
Thankfully, El Salvador acted quickly, and the deportations were finalized before the ruling could interfere.
The Biden administration allowed these gangs to gain a foothold in American communities, endangering law-abiding citizens.
MS-13 and Tren de Aragua are ruthless, engaging in human trafficking, drug smuggling, and murder.
These criminals have no place in the U.S., and keeping them here would have been a costly mistake.

The U.S. is paying El Salvador a relatively small fee to house these criminals—far cheaper than the endless costs of trials, incarceration, and crime in America.
This is a win-win situation: El Salvador benefits from intelligence-gathering and security funding, and the U.S. gets rid of violent criminals for a fraction of the cost.
Judge Boasberg’s ruling is absurd and overreaches his authority.
If allowed to stand, it would mean that violent foreign criminals could remain in the U.S. indefinitely.
Fortunately, with Trump back in office, we can expect these misguided decisions to be overturned swiftly.
Bukele’s leadership in El Salvador should serve as a model.
Unlike liberal leaders who coddle criminals, he understands that law and order must come first.
America should be prioritizing its citizens’ safety, not bending over backward for illegal gang members.
The Bottom Line:
Trump’s decisive leadership ensured that dangerous gang members were deported before a judge could interfere.
El Salvador is locking them away in a maximum-security prison, saving U.S. taxpayers millions.
The judge’s attempt to block deportations highlights the ongoing fight between law and order and the left’s reckless policies.
Thankfully, the criminals are now off American streets, where they belong.
