The United States of America has deported 250 people to El Salvador, who, according to American authorities, are members of the Venezuelan "Tren de Aragua" cartel.
The deportation was not to Maduro's Venezuela, which continues to refuse to accept planes carrying citizens from the US, but to El Salvador, to a high-quality prison.
The Tren de Aragua originated in a notorious illegal prison in the central state of Aragua and is linked to kidnappings, extortion, organized crime and contract killings.
The growing threat in Venezuela related to gang crime led to an exodus of millions of Venezuelans, the vast majority of whom were seeking better living conditions as their country's economy unraveled over the past decade.
The Trump administration accused them of being members of the "Tren de Agua" criminal gang and activated a 1798 law to complete this deportation.
This is the "Alien Enemies Act", passed by the US to target French citizens at that time, who were suspected of acting to cause unrest and war on American territory.
This law has only been enforced three times in the past: during the War of Independence from the British in 1812, during World War I, and during World War II.
According to data from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, especially during World War II, more than 50,000 citizens of German, Italian and Japanese origin were detained, investigated and some of them were deported after surrendering to the Agents.
