The Trump Administration has taken action to enhance the safety of the United States by invoking the Alien Enemies Act. This move aims to remove members of Tren de Aragua (TdA), a Foreign Terrorist Organization, from the country. According to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, this measure involves sending hundreds of violent criminals out of the U.S., fulfilling President Trump's promises to protect Americans.

Secretary Rubio acknowledged President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador for his role in this initiative. President Bukele has agreed to imprison these individuals and requested that two leaders and 21 wanted members of MS-13 be returned to El Salvador for prosecution. Rubio praised Bukele as a strong security leader and a valuable ally.

Rubio stated, "As President Trump’s Secretary of State, I’m honored to continue advancing the America First foreign policy priorities."
