The War on Gangs Just Got Real. President Donald Trump recently took to social media to express his gratitude to El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, after a shocking video emerged showing hundreds of suspected criminal migrants being deported from the United States to El Salvador.
In a bold move that sent shockwaves across borders, the Central American nation accepted 261 deportees, including 137 individuals deemed “alien enemies” under a historic 1798 law. This figure also includes 101 Venezuelans and 21 notorious MS-13 gang members.
Trump praised Bukele for his country’s willingness to take in these deported migrants, citing the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 as the legal basis for the move. The President also took aim at Democratic leadership, accusing them of allowing such situations to arise through their lack of action on immigration reform.
As the war on gangs continues to unfold, this unexpected turn of events serves as a powerful reminder that international cooperation can be a game-changer in the fight against organized crime and violence. Will we see more countries stepping up to take in deported migrants? Only time will tell. For now, it’s clear that El Salvador has sent a strong message: they won’t stand idly by while gang members wreak havoc on their streets.
Let me know if this meets your expectations!
