In an unprecedented move, more than 250 Venezuelans have been deported by the United States and sent to El Salvador, where they were transferred to a maximum security prison, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed on Sunday.
The Trump administration accused them of being members of the Tren de Agua criminal gang, invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport them, which has been used only three times in US history.
