 "US deports 10 more gang members to El Salvador amid security cooperation talks")
The United States has deported another ten persons it claims are gang members to El Salvador, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Sunday, a day before that country’s president is scheduled to visit the White House.
“Last night, another 10 criminals from the MS-13 and Tren de Aragua Foreign Terrorist Organizations arrived in El Salvador,” Rubio stated in an X post.
The cooperation between President Donald Trump and El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele “has become an example for security and prosperity in our hemisphere,” Rubio said.
Trump is scheduled to visit Bukele at the White House on Monday.
Trump said on Saturday he was looking forward to meeting Bukele and praised him for taking “enemy aliens” from the United States. He said the two countries were working closely to “eradicate terrorist organizations.”
Administration officials have repeatedly made public statements alleging that detained immigrants are gang members that they have not backed up in court.
The Trump administration has deported hundreds of Venezuelans to a prison in El Salvador under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
Lawyers and relatives of the migrants held in El Salvador say they are not gang members and had no opportunity to contest the U.S. government assertion that they were. The Trump administration says it vetted migrants to ensure they belonged to Tren de Aragua, which it labels a terrorist organization.
The deportations have been challenged in federal court. The U.S. Supreme Court said the U.S. government must give sufficient notice to immigrant detainees to allow them to contest their deportations. It did not say how those already in El Salvador could seek judicial review of their removals.
