The President of El Salvador released video footage showing migrants arriving at a facility (Twitter/@nayibbukele). The relatively obscure law in question was previously invoked in the United States to justify the internment of Japanese, German, and Italian citizens during World War II. Former President Trump has expressed intentions to repeal this law to facilitate the mass deportation of non-U.S. citizens accused of gang affiliations or criminal activities, often without any judicial proceedings.
An executive order, signed by the President shortly after assuming office, declared that the U.S. is experiencing an ‘invasion’ of immigrants associated with organized crime.
