More than 2,700 individuals suspected of belonging to the notorious Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua (TdA) have been apprehended by federal authorities, according to statements made by officials on Friday.

Tenda de Aragua has become synonymous with the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration and mass deportation program, as Just The News reported.

During a press briefing at the White House, Attorney General Pam Bondi was questioned about whether or not an undocumented infant would be a priority for immigration enforcement. Bondi responded by mentioning the arrests, and what they mean for the larger administration effort.

From the AG

Bondi stated that violent illegal immigrants are given priority for deportation in response to questions from reporters.

"Let me put it in perspective: Today marked the 2,711th arrest in our country of TdA members," she said.

"Everyone in this room agrees that they are one of the most violent criminal organizations in the world."

Who's to blame

Bondi said that the lenient border policies implemented by the Biden administration were to blame for the high concentration of criminal illegal immigrants and for allowing TdA to establish a foothold in the United States.

Although the Alien Enemies Act has been challenged in court, the Trump administration has used its designation of the gang as a terrorist organization to expedite the deportation of its members.

"You should all feel safer now that President Trump can deport all of these gangs and not one district court judge can think that they're emperor over this administration and his executive powers," she said with Trump standing nearby.

Before their involvement in multiple high-profile crimes and terrorizing an apartment complex in Colorado became public knowledge, TdA was unknown in the US.

Court decision

A Supreme Court decision from Friday has officially limited the power of judges to block a presidential policy nationwide that will have widespread implications.

A lower court's injunction may only apply to those who sued to prevent Trump's decrees, not to the entire United States, the Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 ruling challenging the president's executive order abolishing birthright citizenship.

Over the first five months of the Trump administration, federal courts have issued forty nationwide injunctions against various programs, and over 300 cases have been filed against the administration itself.

"This is an issue that lower courts have tried to exploit," Carrie Severino – president of JCN, a group "dedicated to strengthening liberty and justice in America," said. "It's good to see that the [Supreme] Court pushed back so firmly."
