President Trump took bold action to deport hundreds of Venezuelan gang members this week, putting America’s safety first. His team used a powerful old law called the Alien Enemies Act to kick out members of the Tren de Aragua gang, which he calls a terrorist group. The Left and some judges tried to stop him, but Trump didn’t back down.
The gang members were flown to El Salvador, where they’ll be locked up in tough prisons. El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, is known for cracking down on criminals. Trump thanked him for helping protect Americans. “These monsters were sent here by Biden’s open borders,” Trump said. He promised to keep cleaning up the mess Democrats made.
A judge in Washington tried to block the deportations with a last-minute order. But the White House said the planes were already out of U.S. airspace when the order came. They argued that judges can’t control how the president handles national security. Trump’s border chief, Tom Homan, blasted the media for questioning the move. “I don’t care what judges think,” he said. “We’re making America safe again.”
The Alien Enemies Act hasn’t been used since World War II, but Trump says desperate times call for strong measures. Critics whined about “executive overreach,” but conservatives know better. When weak laws and open borders invite crime, real leaders step up. Trump’s team says this is just the start. They’re ready to deport more gang members and secure the border.
Meanwhile, El Salvador showed how to handle criminals—no coddling, just concrete cells. Bukele’s prisons are famous for being rough, and these gang members will learn that quickly. Trump praised this approach, saying America should take notes.
The Left’s lawsuits are just delaying tactics. Trump’s lawyers are fighting back, and the Supreme Court will likely side with common sense. The president has a duty to protect Americans, even if it means using old laws in new ways.
Biden’s failures allowed these gangs to enter freely. Now Trump is cleaning house. Homan put it simply: “We removed terrorists. That’s a good thing.” Every patriot should cheer this win for safety and law.
This is what leadership looks like. No apologies, no retreat. Trump is showing the world that America won’t be a dumping ground for foreign criminals. The fight’s just getting started, but this week proved whose side he’s on—yours.
