The U.S. government took bold action to protect American families by deporting 238 Venezuelan men linked to the violent Tren de Aragua gang to El Salvador’s maximum-security prison. President Trump’s administration used the Alien Enemies Act—a law last invoked during World War II—to remove these threats after they flooded across our open southern border. While liberal activists weep over “due process,” patriots know strong leaders don’t apologize for keeping killers off our streets.
Carlos Uzcategui’s case shows why America needs this tough approach. He entered legally but wore gang tattoos and associated with known criminals—red flags our brave ICE agents spotted. The Wall Street Journal’s hand-wringing over his “clean record” ignores how gangs exploit weak immigration laws to invade our country. Real Americans care more about stopping crime than coddling foreigners.
El Salvador’s President Bukele understands what works. His mega-prison crackdown slashed his country’s murder rate, and now he’s helping America eliminate gang filth. Critics who call CECOT “harsh” should visit Chicago where Tren de Aragua members traffic drugs and assault citizens. Weak borders got us here—only steel bars stop these animals.
The media’s fake outrage hides the truth: Many deportees had pending charges or gang ties our overwhelmed courts hadn’t processed yet. President Trump acted decisively instead of waiting years for left-wing judges to enable more violence. When terrorists target Americans, we don’t offer lawyers—we offer one-way tickets to prison.
Families of the deported men cry foul, but what about U.S. victims of illegal alien crime? Tren de Aragua members butchered a Tennessee truck driver last year and raped a Florida mom in front of her kids. President Trump puts Americans first, even if it hurts foreign feelings.
Using the Alien Enemies Act proves President Trump’s wisdom. FDR used it against Nazis—today’s gangs are just as dangerous. The law lets Presidents act fast when courts move too slow. America can’t risk another 9/11 because some activist judge cares more about illegal invaders than citizens.
El Salvador’s prisons look tough because the threat is tougher. These aren’t choirboys—they’re trained killers who respect only force. While liberals want open borders and hugs for thugs, conservatives build walls and cells. Carlos Uzcategui can blame his gang pals for his new home, not the President who did his job.
President Trump’s historic deportation move shows real leadership. He didn’t buckle to fake news tears or radical lawyers. He protected your family by sending gang monsters packing. If we want safe streets, we need more flights to CECOT and fewer coddling policies from Biden’s failed era.
