The United States has shown hundreds of alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua under the now expanded authority of the law on Alien Ensemies from 1798, said US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday.

“Hundreds of violent criminals were sent from our country,” said Rubio in an explanation.

“Today the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country,” said El Salvador President Nayib Bukele on Sunday morning to X and divided a video of several men in handcuffs and bonds that were transferred from a plane to a strongly guarded convoy.

In a meeting last month, Bukele offered US Foreign Minister Marco Rubio prisoners from the United States in his country.

In his post, he said that the alleged gang members had been sent to the country's maximum security area (CECOT).

President Donald Trump called the law on Alien Ensemies on Friday to quickly deports alleged members of Tren de Aragua, a criminal organization that was associated with kidnapping, extortion, organized crime and contract murders.
