First immigrants deported from America arrive at ‘world’s worst prison’ as Trump goes against judges orders

More than 250 alleged criminals have been deported to the infamous El Salvador prison

Dozens of immigrants have landed inside the world’s ‘worst prison’ as the US President defies judges orders.

As many as 250 alleged criminals have been deported to the infamous El Salvador mega-jail as President Donald Trump pressed for the controversial move.

The mass deportation was carried out under a rare 18th-century wartime legislation, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The relatively unknown law was last used in the US to justify internment camps for Japanese, German and Italian citizens during the Second World War.

However, Trump has had his eye on revoking it to fuel mass deportations of non-US ctizens who have been accused of being in gangs or committing crimes without any court proceedings taking place.

According to an executive order, signed by the POTUS within hours of taking over the White House, the US is under an ‘invasion’ of immigrants linked to organized crime.

It appears the cohort of migrants shipped to the maximum-security Counter-Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) was carried out under this rule and after Secretary of State Marco Rubio agreed a deal with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele.

Bukele who is passionate about cracking down on gang violence in the Central American country and shared images and videos of the accused handcuffed criminals landing and being escorted from the jet to the prison.

Taking to Twitter, he claimed hundreds of the arrivals formed the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua.
