NewsTranscript
00:00The Trump administration has deported alleged members of a Venezuelan gang from the U.S.
00:06despite a court order forbidding it from doing so, saying in an extraordinary statement that
00:12a judge did not have the authority to block its actions.
00:16The deportation operation followed a move by Judge James Bosbach to block President
00:20Donald Trump's use of alien enemies' acts, all-time powers, to rapidly deport more than
00:26200 alleged members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang that has been linked to kidnapping, extortion
00:33and counter-killings.
00:34A video released by El Salvador's Government Sunday showed men being hustled out of an
00:39airplane and into waiting buses by officers in riot gear.
00:43The migrants were taken to the notorious Yakut facility, the centerpiece of Salvadoran President
00:49Nayib Bukele's push to pacify his once-violence-wrecked country through tough police measures and
00:57limits on basic rights.
00:59Meanwhile, the Venezuelan government in a statement Sunday rejected the use of the Trump's
01:03declaration of the alien enemies act, characterizing it as evocative of the darkest episodes in
01:09human history, from slavery to the horror of the Nazi concentration camps.
