Trump declares Venezuela's Tren de Aragua gang invades U.S

El Salvador has agreed to accept around 300 alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua for a year, after discussions between El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. This agreement, in which the U.S. will pay El Salvador $6 million for housing these individuals in its prisons, marks one of the first instances of the Central American nation taking migrants from the U.S. This follows a significant crackdown on gang violence in El Salvador, where President Bukele has arrested many without due process. The Trump administration, which views Tren de Aragua as a terrorist organization, has asserted that the group represents a threat to U.S. national security and has called for the deportation of any members residing illegally in the U.S. Trump has characterized the gang's activities as hostile actions against the U.S and has used wartime powers to clash with migration policies, intensifying debates over immigration and security. Criticism has arisen regarding the administration's lack of transparency in identifying these alleged gang members and the potential human rights implications of such deportations, further complicating the narrative surrounding migration and gang violence in the U.S. and Latin America.
