The United States expels El Salvador to 238 members of the Aragua train using a law under judicial dispute
A total of 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization of Aragua Train More twenty members of the Mara Salvatrucha have been expelled from the United States to the large anti -terrorist prison of El Salvador Through a controversial law of the United States that allows its president, Donald Trumpresort to archaic war powers to speed up the deportations of immigrants without documents accused of belonging to terrorist organizations.
The announcement was made in unison in social networks by the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele and the United States Secretary of State 273 imprisoned: More than 250 members of the Aragua train, of which 238 are already in the Salvadoran area for entry to the Center for Regement of Terrorism (Cecot) and two other subordinates of the Mara Salvatrucha, the MS-13.
“El Salvador promised to keep them inside his excellent prisons at a fair price, Which will also save money to our taxpayers, “said Rubio, who describes those expelled as” foreigners enemies “, before thanking the contribution of the president of Salvadoren, Nayib Bukele,” the strongest leader in the issue of security of our region and a great friend of the United States.
The term used by Rubio coincides with that used by 1798 Law on foreign enemiesThe law that invoked Trump last Saturday and that grants the president with large powers to expel people from the country.
The law, which in large strokes has skipped the entire immigration process, is designed to be invoked if the United States are at war with another country or If a foreign nation has invaded the United States or threatens to do it and train the administration to immediately deport the prisoners. During the first and Second World War, it was used to justify the detention and expulsion of German immigrants, Austrohungaros, Italians and Japanese.
In his declaration, Trump specifically indicated the Aragua train, considered as a “terrorist group” by the United States, which were “The United States illegally infiltrated And they are carrying out an irregular war and performing hostile actions against the country.
The president of Salvadoran, meanwhile, has confirmed the transfer of the first 238 members of the Aragua Train to Cecot for “a renewable one-year period” and other “23 members of the MS-13 Wanted by Justice Salvadoranincluding two leaders. “
“As always, we continue to advance in the fight against organized crime. But this time, we also help our allies, reaching the Self -sufficiency of our penitentiary system And get vital information to make our country an even safer place. All in a single action, “he celebrated Bukele
It happens, however, these deportations have been announced hours after the federal judge James E. Boasberg The execution of any type of deportation based on this war law is suspended for 14 days.
The magistrate had to call two sessions: the first a Cancel five initial deportations And the second to extend the first cancellation to any future similar deportation. As can be seen from the playful reaction of Bukele in his X – “UPS, too late”, wrote the president – The expulsions of the members of the Aragua train could occur between the two opinions.
In fact, two planes transported, according to the portal Politicalto the deported Venezuelans he left the Harlingen Airport, Texas, During a break in judicial hearings. According to flight monitoring databases, a plane was heading to San Salvador, El Salvador and the other in Comayagua, Honduras, and was approaching their destinations when Boasberg emerged their order.
However, the second opinion issued by the magistrate provides a minimum room for maneuver: “If there is a plane in flight with prisoners, You have to turn the United States However possible and must immediately respect this order, “according to the opinion, collected by the news portal Political.
The magistrate acted at the request of a cause intended by the Specialized NGOs in Human Rights Democracy forward and the American Union for Civil Freedoms, which have not yet pronounced this announcement.
The press secretary of the White House, Karoline LeavittHe limited himself to defending Trump’s decision against the members of an organization that “invaded the country” and whose members “violated and mutilated for sport” and have ensured that the president is absolutely trained to make this type of decisions, precisely an opinion that seriously contested several federal judges, some of them appointed for the president.
“It is clear that there is Left activistswho sit in the front of the courts and who have no appreciation for the president or their policies, but the truth is that everything that makes President Trump is within his executive authority, “said Leavitt.
