Tren de Aragua, a gang born out of a Venezuelan prison, is a loose network that doesn’t operate like groups typically considered terrorist organizations.

Trump applauded Bukele for his "understanding of this horrible situation" as 250 Tren de Aragua members and 23 MS-13 members were deported to El Salvador.

The deportation of 261 Venezuelans, including suspected members of the gang, was carried out on Saturday. By the time a federal court halted the move, two planes carrying immigrants had already left the country.
