Nayib Bukele’s role in the Trump administration’s deportation strategy signals a new level of power and global visibility for El Salvador’s young leader.
The transfer of 238 migrants accused of being gang members to El Salvador has created panic among Venezuelans who worry about the fate of their loved ones.
A court filing described strip searches and the use of restraint chairs on some of the 290 migrants the Trump administration has cycled through the base.
President Trump is clamping down broadly on dissent using the tools of the federal government.
President Trump said the base would house as many as 30,000 migrants awaiting deportation. But construction of a tent city was halted weeks ago.
The Trump administration is expected to use thousands more beds in these facilities as part of its mass deportation effort.
President Trump’s promise to launch the largest deportation operation in U.S. history is colliding with the practical difficulties of detaining people and transporting them across the globe.
Mr. Hegseth served at the U.S. Navy base as a National Guard lieutenant. The base is now being used to hold some migrants who face deportation.
The base had been cleared of migrants since Thursday, after the government sent 177 to Venezuela and one back to the United States.
The migrants from around the world did not know where they were or what would happen to them, according to an independent government entity.
