US deports more alleged gang members to El Salvador

The U.S. State Department reported the deportation of 17 alleged gang members to El Salvador over the weekend, including individuals accused of severe crimes, according to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The Trump administration admitted it wrongfully deported Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to a Salvadorian prison, citing an "administrative error" that disregarded a judge's order in 2019 allowing him to stay pending further proceedings.
The ACLU challenged the deportation process, questioning the criteria used to determine gang affiliation, which included tattoos and clothing as possible indicators.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt supported the criteria for gang determinations, asserting they comply with legal standards, despite criticisms regarding reliability.
