US President Donald Trump has initiated deportation proceedings under the 227-year-old Alien Enemies Act, resulting in the deportation of 261 Venezuelan immigrants to a supermax prison in El Salvador. The US government took action under this law, alleging that the deported individuals were members of a drug trafficking gang.
Notably, the deportation took place despite a US court having stayed the deportation order for these individuals. Trump administration officials stated that the flight had already taken off by the time the court order was issued.
The deported Venezuelan citizens were dressed in white prison clothes and were escorted in a line to the prison. The President’s Office has also released pictures and videos of the transfer, showing the individuals handcuffed and being led off the flight.
