   #Trump deported >200 supposed members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan prison gang, to El Salvador this weekend, multiple members of the Trump admin said on social media on Sunday.

   It was not immediately clear if the #deportations happened before or after a federal judge in DC on Sat issued an emergency order that told the admin to stop using wartime powers to #deport anyone, & turn around any planes already in the air.

     #Bukele posted a video on Sun of what he says is 238 members of Tren de Aragua arriving in #ElSalvador. He said they would be transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center in the country, for 1 year.

     #MarcoRubio, #Trump’s secy of #State, last month said Bukele had agreed to accept deportees from the US of ANY NATIONALITY [including US #citizens]. Bukele's social media posts on Sun refer to "a very low fee" that the #US paid to El Salvador for the #deportations.

     @Nonilex When the government clearly ignores the court order and injunctions, the USA is in a very, very dangerous place. Not helped by Bukele being more than happy to also ignore it and accept these people. No one even knows for sure if any of them are members of the Tren de Aragua. Using a law created to deal with a war situation and a hostile country to deport people is terrifying. USA is no longer a democracy, and won’t be as long as this administration continues in control.

     "Thanks to the great work of the Department of State, these heinous monsters were extracted & removed to El Salvador where they will no longer be able to pose any threat to the American People," #Trump WH press secy Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

     "Ooopsie… too late," El Salvador's Pres Nayib #Bukele posted, in response to the judicial order.
