After a federal judge temporarily blocked an effort by President Donald Trump to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, the Trump administration deported hundreds of immigrants to El Salvador alleging they are members of a Venezuelan gang.

NBC News’ Aaron Gilchrist reports on how the White House was able to proceed with the deportations and what could happen next.March 17, 2025
