Can Trump legally deport US citizens to El Salvador prisons?
Briefly

Following the deportation of 238 Venezuelan gang members and 23 Salvadoran gang members to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, President Trump is now contemplating deporting United States citizens who commit crimes. This action is anticipated to encounter substantial legal challenges, as experts suggest that forcibly deporting American passport holders is likely illegal. Additionally, Trump signed legislation during his first term that complicates such deportations further. Critics of this plan view the invocation of a wartime law, the Alien Enemies Act, as inappropriate given the current context.
After deporting members of Venezuelan and Salvadoran gangs, Trump is now considering the deportation of US citizens, which would likely face significant legal hurdles.
Legal experts indicate that forcibly deporting American citizens may violate the Constitution and could lead to various legal challenges for the Trump administration.
