Under President Donald Trump, the Department of Homeland Security ( DHS) deported nearly 300 illegal immigrants who had been members of violent groups that have since been designated as foreign terrorist companies, in a significant change in immigration enforcement from the previous administration, according to Breitbart. This is done within the first 100 times of Trump’s first year in office, indicating a significant change from the Biden administration’s plans and promises made to Americans.
DHS officials announced on Tuesday that the organization has increased its search for and detain those linked to dangerous international gangs. The nearly 300 jailed people were associated with MS-13 and Tren de Aragua, two infamous gangs, according to DHS. Both companies have been officially designated as foreign criminal companies, which shows how serious a threat they pose both domestically and internationally.
A Cuban group known as Tren de Aragua has quickly expanded its reach throughout Latin America and, more just, into the United States. The group’s role in a range of criminal pursuits, including bribery, aggressive assaults, and drug trafficking has sparked concern among law enforcement officials. The rise in crime in some big cities has been linked to the group’s growing presence in the U.S.
Another group known as MS-13, one of the most dangerous criminal organizations in the Northern Hemisphere, has long been a victim of the latest deportations. MS-13 has been a focus point of U.S. anti-gang work for many years because of its harsh techniques and global reach.
According to the report, there have been more arrests entire since Trump took office than 142, 000, which is already more than the overall number of deportations during the Biden administration’s first two fiscal years. According to authorities, this increase in persecution is the result of a concerted effort to restore law and order and stop the country’s rising gang-related crime.
Many deported people were incarcerated at El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center ( CECOT ), a high-security facility where convicted of committing terrorism and other serious crimes. The decision to evict these group members to a place like this underscores the severity with which the Trump presidency is taking the situation.
According to DHS representatives, members of Tren de Aragua have been the subject of around 600 detention since January. Many of these people officially entered the country while the previous administration was in office, profiting from what critics characterized as more permissive protection measures.
The debate over immigration plan is likely to continue to be a key issue in American politics as the Trump administration prioritizes the removal of persons linked to terrorism and organized crime.
