First 250+ migrant gang members from US arrive in El Salvador — where they’ll be held in a notorious mega-prison
New York Post ^ | March 16, 2025 | Isabel Keens

The US has flown more than 250 accused migrant gang members to El Salvador — where they will be sent to a notorious mega-prison.

The flight included 238 members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, as well as 23 members of MS-13, El Salvador’s President, Nayib Bukele, wrote on X Sunday morning.

They were immediately transferred to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), with video showing dozens of heavily armed Salvadoran commandos meeting the plane on the tarmac.

Chained migrant suspects were forcibly transferred to armored prison transports by guards.

Bukele noted that in addition to the alleged Venezuelan gang members, 23 members of MS-13 who are wanted in El Salvador were also transferred to the country — including two ringleaders.

“One of them is a member of the criminal organization’s highest structure,” Bukele wrote.

He added: “This will help us finalize intelligence gathering and go after the last remnants of MS-13, including its former and new members, money, weapons, drugs, hideouts, collaborators, and sponsors.”

WHAT! You mean one of the Judicial Branch ruling class didn’t demand the plane turn around and bring those poor criminals back to the US to continue their criminal careers. How terrible.

The photos from that prison are absolutely horrifying. But that is the world that the gang members have made. I have no sympathy for them.

As far as the new prisoners go I'm reminded of Scotty's words from Star Trek VI: "Better to kill them now and get it over with."

These animals, who suck American lives and worth from the country, are in the US to try to escape these prisons when the made a choice to do harm to people for their riches. This is the outcome of their decision. Not the decision of the US to send them to where they chose to be and earned. I take my hat off to El Salvadore for their assist in this. I hope we can afford more as this type of babysitting is not cheap. In older times they just would have shot them. In older days, we just would have hung them. Is it an improvement?

Yes.

Bukele and Trump get along.

FYI, I’ve been to El Salvadore since Bukele has been running the show. That country is a miracle. A total turn around.

Bukele “saved” El Salvador, and for some reason, the Western MSM hate the guy!!! Explain that?

Reminds me of a great movie “Con Air” (1997) starring Nicolas Cage.

“This will help us finalize intelligence gathering...”

Seems like the noted ringleader will be singing a lot, and sleeping little.

That rat hack Judge ordered the plane carrying these criminals to turn around mid flight and bring them these thugs back to the US. Good to see that traitor was ignored.

A PSA needs to be created of this incident and run in democrat hellhole cities with high consentrations of illegals...

PDJT has expressed the same sentiment.

Can you imagine how happy he is to see all this transpire?

Ex Phillipine President, Rodrigo Duterte was aggressive in removing the drug gangs and dealers in the phillipines, from 2016 yo 2022. His reward? Duterte has been arrested, and flown to The Hague International Court to face trial for
“Drug War Killings”. Such a disgrace to the present lawmakers in the Philipines!

Is this one of those planes that the judge tried to turn around?

This is likely part of a carrot and stick scheme.

1-ICE picks up illegals, DNA testing is done.

2-The illegals are well treated but admonished that if they EVER are found in the US again without proper authorization they MAY be sent to this notorious prison or Gitmo.

3-The illegals are told that they will be free to apply for asylum at a point of entry or consulate and wait while their claim is investigated.

tada!
