O n the night of Saturday, March 15, three planes touched down in El Salvador, carrying 261 men deported from the United States. A few dozen were Salvadoran, but most of the men were Venezuelans the Trump Administration had designated as gang members and deported, with little or no due process. I was there to document their arrival.

Trump appears to be referencing a deal his administration made with El Salvador to deport Venezuelan gang members there from the U.
