Trump Administration Faces Legal Scrutiny Over Deportations to El Salvador

  • The Trump administration deported hundreds of immigrants, asserting they were members of Tren de Aragua, after President Trump declared the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
  • The Trump administration contended that Tren de Aragua was invading the United States, though they did not identify the deported immigrants nor provide evidence they were members of the gang or had committed crimes in the U.S.
  • U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg issued an order Saturday morning, broadened after an afternoon hearing, temporarily barring the deportations for up to 14 days, but lawyers stated that two planes were already in the air headed for El Salvador and Honduras.
  • Following the deportations, the immigrants were taken to the notorious CECOT facility in El Salvador, a centerpiece of President Nayib Bukele's push to pacify his once violence-wracked country through tough police measures and limitations on basic rights, prompting Bukele to post "Oopsie&Too late" on social media regarding Boasberg's ruling.
  • On March 16, 2025, video released by El Salvador's government showed the immigrants exiting airplanes onto an airport tarmac lined by officers in riot gear before being transferred to the Terrorism Confinement Center, while the Department of Justice appealed Boasberg's decision, stating the immigrants had already been removed from U.S. Territory when the written order was issued at 7:26 pm.
