El Salvador accepts more alleged Tren de Aragua gang members from Trump admin

Rubio said in a statement posted on X that the alleged gang members included murderers and rapists.

"In order to keep the American people safe, @POTUS designated the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as Foreign Terrorist Organizations," Rubio said. "These criminals will no longer terrorize our communities and citizens."

The officials said six other alleged Tren de Aragua members were also transferred. All the individuals transferred were either citizens of Venezuela or El Salvador. Some have criminal charges pending, while most have been convicted.

These removals were done via Title 8, not the Alien Enemies Act, and all the individuals had deportation orders or final orders of removal, according to the senior White House officials, meaning the Trump administration did not violate a federal judge's order halting the deportations.

Trump has since slammed Boasberg, accusing him and other "radical left judges" of hampering his ability to serve as president.

The Trump administration has deported hundreds of alleged criminal illegal aliens to El Salvador, where they are being held in the country's notorious Terrorism Confinement Center.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News in a statement that the Trump administration will continue going after illegal alien criminals.

"Every day, America becomes safer, thanks to the leadership of President Trump," Leavitt said. "If you're an illegal terrorist or criminal - the Trump administration is coming for you."
