designating cartels and other organizations as Foreign Terrorist 
Organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs);
Whereas Tren de Aragua (TdA), who has been directed to attack U.S. law 
enforcement officers, was specifically named as a FTO under this 
Executive order;
Whereas in early February 2025, President Bukele met with Secretary of State 
Marco Rubio and agreed to imprison members of Tren de Aragua of behalf 
of the United States;
Whereas, on March 15, 2025, President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act in 
response to the infiltration of the United States by Tren de Aragua;
Whereas, on March 15, 2025, two flights carrying noncitizen members of Tren de 
Aragua and the Salvadoran gang MS-13 departed U.S. airspace;
Whereas, on March 16, 2025, El Salvador President Nayib Bukele received these 
two flights and immediately transferred the SDGTs into El Salvador's 
Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) for detention.
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) supports the President's Action to remove foreign 
terrorists under the Alien Enemies Act, 50 U.S.C. 21 et seq.;
(2) affirms that, as Commander in Chief, the President has 
executive authority to detain, deport, or restrict non-citizens 
from a Foreign Terrorist Organization; and

organizations from the United States to protect the nation's
