US deports hundreds of alleged gang members to El Salvador

The US deported more than 250 mainly Venezuelan alleged gang members to El Salvador despite a US judge’s ruling to halt the flights on Saturday, after Donald Trump controversially invoked the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 law meant only to be used in wartime. Trump's use of the act is being challenged by the Americal Civil Liberties Union Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub US deports 250 alleged gang members to El Salvador despite court ruling to halt flights ► https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/16/deportation-alleged-gang-members-el-salvador The Guardian publishes independent journalism, made possible by supporters.
