US deports 250 alleged gang members to El Salvador despite court ruling to halt flights
Briefly

The United States deported more than 250 alleged gang members, primarily from Venezuela, to El Salvador, despite a federal judge's last-minute ruling to suspend the flights. This action follows Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, permitting expedited deportations during wartime. The detainees include members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and Salvadoran MS-13. El Salvador's president expressed satisfaction with the agreement, highlighting cooperation between the two nations in addressing gang-related issues while US officials praised this initiative as cost-effective for American taxpayers.
