Trump issued an executive order to use the Alien Enemies Act to target Venezuelan migrants with ties to the Tren de Aragua gang.

The Trump administration says the group should be treated as an invading force. Critics say it’s a pretext for the administration’s anti-immigrant narrative.

The Trump administration has sparked controversy with its move Sunday to deport 261 people, some of whom it alleges are members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, to an infamous maximum-security prison in El Salvador.
