Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst. The Trump administration has sent more than 200

suspected prison gang members to a notorious prison in El Salvador. This after President Trump invoked

the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a rarely used law giving the President wartime deportation powers. It's unclear, though, if the deportations took place before a federal judge blocked Trump's use of this law yesterday.

And Pierre Zeta Peralta reports the country has agreed to jail them for a fee.

The government of El Salvador released videos showing U.S. Border Patrol handing over dozens of men.

Then the videos show the men in chains being escorted by armed bars.

The videos show the men being shaved and then taken to El Salvador's maximum security prison.

Salvadoran President Aybukele said 238 of them were members of the Venezuelan gang Treniarawa,

and another 23 were Salvadoran gang members. The U.S., he said, would pay a, quote, very low fee

to keep them in prison for a year. A spokeswoman for the presidency told NPR they did not yet

know whether these detainees had been convicted in the United States.

Anything that you may need your medication, anything that might be difficult for you to find.

Today, storms are breaking out in the east.
