The Trump administration says the group should be treated as an invading force. Critics say it’s a pretext for the administration’s anti-immigrant narrative.

President Trump deported nearly 300 immigrants that were allegedly part of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. NBC News' David Noriega has an in-depth report on the group and joins José Díaz-Balart to share more.

Trump labeled the Tren de Aragua an invading force when he invoked the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 authority that allows the president to deport any noncitizen during wartime.
