In a shocking turn of events, more than 200 Venezuelans have been deported from the US to a super maximum-security prison in El Salvador, despite a US judge blocking the removals. These individuals, alleged by the White House to be gang members, were sent to the notorious Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot) alongside 23 members of the international MS-13 gang.
The US government and El Salvador have not disclosed the identities of the detainees, nor have they provided details regarding their alleged criminal activity or gang membership. This lack of transparency has raised concerns about the legality and ethicality of the deportations.
The White House has faced criticism from rights groups, who accuse the administration of flouting due process by carrying out deportations in defiance of a court order. This disregard for the judicial system has sparked outrage and calls for accountability.
The situation highlights the complexities and challenges surrounding immigration policies and deportation processes, particularly when it comes to individuals accused of gang affiliation. As the story continues to develop, many are hopeful for a resolution that upholds justice and respects the rights of all individuals involved.

The comments on this are heartbreaking honestly. Praising the deportation of random people without due process in the face of a court order when none of them have been found guilty? It makes me lose faith in humanity… or at least in America… the whole country's a shitshow at the moment.
They need to interview victims of these criminals. Cry and get justice for the victims.
Millions of American citizens voted for this and we thank Donald Trump and we stand by him 110% all these judges that are undermining the vote of millions of American citizens and president Trump ! should be held ACCOUNTABLE!!!
BBC should be ashamed of themselves
😂😂😂
Shocked by all these comments… looks like criminals are not humans but animals…
Gracias mr RUBIO GRACIAS MR TRUMP
So we can just call Trump a 'gang member' and drag him off ?
那请问R星又算什么,传播者 ?
They were not 'Venezuelan migrants'…they were viscious dangerous gang members. These federal judges are not above the presidents excecutive powers. Trump wad voted in by the people to do this.
The Dem party is party of LIES, CHEATS and TDS
Did Rubio say they don't want TOURISTS IN THE US?
I DISTINCTLY heard him say "tourists"!
Sounds right to me!

Labour Party news.
On the other side of the pond, we don't deport criminals because their kids prefers chicken nuggets in the UK 😭😭😭😭 reminder everone: vote Reform please
Yes BBC your radical far left hearts must be crying now,,,,call in the UN and Human right groups to stop this madness at once.
Marco has massive ears!
Why doesn't these activists complain about the Russian Gulags that still exist. Leftist afraid to faced real oppressors of human rights instead of a country trying to make it safe for all El Salvadorians
The court order was bogus – total overreach of a Biden appointed judge. This was an Executive office decision not a judicial matter. These were illegal immigrants who committed heinous crimes! Most Americans (except left wing loonies) are extremely happy that these criminals are being arrested and deported. That judge is in the process of being removed.
This judge should also be sent to that same prison
CECOT looks like a human chicken coop for lab experiments. This is disgusting that the US would send anyone there let alone people they lured in with promises of immigration. Just because someone looks tough or has tattoos is no reason to lock them up. There is no due process or rule of law. Trump doesn't like how they look, so they get sent to the human body warehouse. What happens when people drop dead from stress in there? Do they steal their organs? Who ever came out of there alive? Can they find someone to interview who has?
😂😂 – u guys r full of xhit 😂😂
Why does the BBC refer to them as "migrants"? Many are gangs and criminals, and in most cases, illegal entrants. If the UK allows such gangs to exploit young British girls, that doesn't mean other nations should accept the same.
Suspected? Ridiculous
Meanwhile in the UK, 2.5 MILLION undocumented illigal aliens are running amok. Well done to our "Leaders"
None of these people were given a fair trial in a court of law.
Pearl harbour all over again.
