The Trump Administration has initiated a significant action aimed at enhancing national security by invoking the Alien Enemies Act. This move, directed by President Trump, targets the removal of members from Tren de Aragua (TdA), a recognized Foreign Terrorist Organization known for its violent activities against the United States.
According to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, "hundreds of violent criminals were sent out of our country." He emphasized that this decisive action is part of President Trump's commitment to fulfill his promises to the American public.
Secretary Rubio also acknowledged the cooperation of El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele in this effort. "I want to express my sincere gratitude to President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador for playing a pivotal role in this transfer," he stated. Bukele has agreed to imprison these individuals and has requested the return of two MS-13 leaders along with 21 others wanted for justice in El Salvador. Rubio praised Bukele as "not only the strongest security leader in our region" but also "a great friend of the United States."
In his capacity as Secretary of State, Rubio expressed his honor in advancing America's foreign policy under Trump's leadership.
