The Trump administration used the Alien Enemies Act to deport over 200 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador's maximum-security prison, despite concerns about the accuracy of labeling them as gang members or terrorists. The deal was made with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, who demanded assurances that the deportees were members of the Tren de Aragua gang. The deportations were part of a broader effort to rapidly deport immigrants to Central and South America with little court oversight.

The Trump administration sent a diplomatic note to El Salvador requesting the release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran immigrant who was improperly expelled to El Salvador, but the Nayib Bukele government refused. The administration's efforts to comply with a Supreme Court order to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release are being questioned, with some suggesting it was an attempt at window dressing. The White House has faced criticism and a court inquiry into whether officials acted in bad faith.

President Trump stated in an ABC News interview that he has the ability to help return Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a wrongly deported Maryland man, from El Salvador but is unwilling to do so, believing him to be a gang member. Trump's comments contradicted his administration's previous stance and highlighted their intention to defy the Supreme Court's order to facilitate Abrego Garcia's release. The administration had argued that it was up to El Salvador to release Abrego Garcia, who was deported despite a court order forbidding his deportation due to a credible fear of persecution.

US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that Kilmar Ábrego García, a Salvadoran man mistakenly deported to El Salvador, would be immediately deported again if returned to the US. The Trump administration admitted the deportation was an 'administrative error' but claims Ábrego García is not under US jurisdiction. Ábrego García was afforded a federal protection order against deportation before being sent to El Salvador, where he was held in a controversial mega-prison. The administration has refused to bring him back despite a Supreme Court order to 'facilitate' his release.

Venezuelan detainees at the Bluebonnet immigrant detention center in Anson, Texas, formed the letters 'SOS' with their bodies to protest their potential deportation to El Salvador under a wartime law, despite maintaining they have no gang ties. The detainees were given notices alleging they were members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, but their families and the detainees themselves deny this. The Supreme Court temporarily blocked their deportations, but they still face potential deportation if the block is lifted.
