About This Trend
The U.S. government has been deporting members of Venezuelan gang organizations to El Salvador.
This action is trending due to the recent deportation of over 200 gang members to a high-security prison in El Salvador, with reports of the U.S. paying $6 million for their detention. The use of the Alien Enemies Act from WWII and the federal court's attempt to halt the deportation have also drawn significant attention and criticism.
