President Donald Trump said on Saturday that not all alleged criminals who have entered the United States can be tried, but must be quickly expelled from the country.

“We need Courageous JUSTICE in our Country. If the Courts don’t allow what we have been allowed to do for 250 years, America can no longer be the same,” wrote Trump in his Truth Social network.
Trump said the Biden’s immigration policies allowed “criminals of every type to enter with no Retribution. Murderers, Drug Dealers, Gang Members, and even the Mentally Insane will make their home in our Country, wreaking havoc like we have never seen before.”
In this regard, the US president stated that it will not possible to have trials “for millions and millions of people. We know who the Criminals are, and we must get them out of the U.S.A. — and FAST!”
This month, an appeals court temporarily blocked a federal judge’s attempt to declare the Trump administration in contempt for having sent more than 200 migrants, mostly Venezuelans, to a mega-prison in El Salvador, an action that is considered to be in violation of a prior court order.
On March 14, Trump invoked the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, used in times of war, to expel hundreds of Venezuelans whom he accuses of belonging to the Tren de Aragua criminal organization.
A day after he invoked the law, Boasberg blocked its use just as two planes were heading to Central America with the migrants and ordered the return of those flights.
The planes did not turn back and landed in El Salvador, unleashing an unprecedented legal battle in which Trump even suggested impeaching the magistrate.
The sending of migrants to El Salvador has provoked a series of lawsuits against the Trump government and rejection by international organizations.
Human Rights Watch accused the U.S. and El Salvador of “forced disappearance” by deporting migrants. The Trump administration justified the evictions by alleging ties to gangs such as Tren de Aragua and MS-13, considered terrorists. However, journalistic research reveals that the majority of those deported to El Salvador have no criminal record.
