He also says he believes the Alien Enemies Act will be popular with Americans.

"We don’t know if that happened that way," Rounds said when asked if the administration had defied the judge’s ruling. However, he supported using "every legal means" to deport alleged criminals, arguing that public safety concerns outweigh procedural issues.

"I think most Americans are going to say, ‘I don’t care how old the law is if you can use it to get these guys out and keep my family safe, we’re going to do it,’" he added.

Democrats Call for Immigration Reform

On the Democratic side, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries emphasized the importance of upholding the rule of law. He also warned against the potential consequences of the administration’s aggressive deportation policies.

"All of us within the Democratic Party, we oppose illegal immigration. We believe that if you’re a violent felon, you should be deported. But we also can’t go down this road that the Trump administration is taking us on—potentially deporting American citizens, deporting legal and lawful permanent residents, and breaking up law-abiding immigrant families who are contributing to this country," Jeffries said.

He reiterated the need for "comprehensive" immigration reform to address concerns without violating legal protections.

El Salvador’s Prison Crackdown

El Salvador’s brutal crackdown on crime has led to the suspension of constitutional rights like due process. More than 80,000 individuals have been arrested over 1% of the country’s population.

 While Bukele acknowledges that some innocent people have been detained by mistake, he maintains that such "collateral damage" is necessary to transform El Salvador from the "murder capital of the world" into one of the safest nations.

Cecot: A Prison for Deported Gang Members

With a capacity of 40,000 inmates, the Terrorism Confinement Center (Cecot) is the largest prison in the Americas. It has become a symbol of El Salvador’s heavy-handed approach to crime, drawing criticism from human rights organizations for its harsh conditions.

Bukele announced Sunday that the deported members of Tren de Aragua had been transferred to Cecot "for a period of one year." A video posted to his social media showed the prisoners being led off buses, handcuffed, and having their heads shaved.

Reports indicate that inmates in Cecot are held in overcrowded cells, some containing up to 80 people. They sleep on metal bunks without mattresses, sheets, or pillows. They have access only to an open toilet, a cement basin for washing, and a plastic bucket for water.
