The move comes after a federal appeals court last week upheld a court order barring the Trump administration from expelling detained immigrants suspected of gang affiliation, but not convicted or charged with gang-affiliated criminal activity, to a maximum-security Salvadoran mega prison under the Alien Enemies Act.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, said in a post on BlueSky that if the Trump administration is "not violating the AEA court order," this action means "these people had final orders of removal." He added, however, that he "wouldn't trust any allegations of gang membership."

I think Aaron Reichlin-Melnick is saying that he doesn't believe this is being done legally and there is no way to prove it because all contact is broken. We have found another concentration camp, we now have one in Guantanamo Bay and one in El Salvador.
