Seventeen more foreign gang terrorists are gone — and America is safer for it.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Monday night that in coordination with the Trump administration and U.S. military forces, a fresh wave of violent criminals — including murderers, rapists, and child predators — tied to the infamous Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gangs were deported to El Salvador. These aren’t just random thugs. They’re members of foreign terrorist organizations, designated as such by President Trump for a reason: they exist to brutalize, terrorize, and destroy.
The Left has tried to muddy the waters on immigration, blending criminals with legitimate asylum-seekers, and painting anyone concerned about border security as xenophobic. But when six child rapists are being marched off a U.S. Air Force plane in shackles, the line between fantasy and reality becomes painfully clear. President Trump and Secretary Rubio aren’t playing games. They’re delivering results.
Last night, in a successful counter-terrorism operation with our allies in El Salvador, the United States military transferred a group of 17 violent criminals from the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 organizations, including murderers and rapists.
In order to keep the American people…

Rubio, firm and unapologetic, said the operation was part of the administration’s broader counterterrorism strategy. “These criminals will no longer terrorize our communities and citizens,” he stated — and that’s exactly the point. Americans aren’t asking for much. Just a secure border. A safe community. A government that puts its citizens first.
Of course, the activist judges couldn’t help themselves. Judge James Boasberg — yes, that Judge Boasberg — has tried to tie the administration’s hands by issuing a temporary block on certain deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. Because apparently, in 2025, the new progressive gospel says we must provide sanctuary to foreign terrorists with a trail of dead children and mutilated bodies in their wake.
In response, the Department of Justice invoked the state secrets privilege — because no sane government would tip its hand on counterterrorism operations in open court. Now the DOJ is asking the Supreme Court to step in and stop the judicial interference before it cripples sensitive diplomatic and military efforts.

All individuals are confirmed murderers and high-profile offenders, including six child rapists.

Meanwhile, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele — a man who actually believes in law and order — confirmed his country’s role in the mission. He posted video proof: gang members being hauled off the plane, heads shaved, and tossed behind bars. There was no ceremony, no fanfare. Just hard justice.
This is what leadership looks like. It’s not press releases and identity politics. It’s real men doing real work to protect real lives.
While the D.C. cocktail circuit wrings its hands and clutches its pearls, the Trump administration is quietly dismantling the international gang networks that have turned cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles into war zones. No amount of academic whining or media spin changes the facts: the deportations are working.
