President Trump thanks El Salvador President Nayib Bukele for accepting illegal immigrants with known or suspected gang ties into El Salvador.

Earlier on Sunday, Bukele posted a video on social media showing the flights carrying the alleged gang members who were living illegally in the U.S. and explained that the new partnership with the U.S. government would help both nations fight organized crime.

Trump said he appreciates Bukele's understanding of the situation.

"These are the monsters sent into our Country by Crooked Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats. How dare they! Thank you to El Salvador and, in particular, President Bukele, for your understanding of this horrible situation, which was allowed to happen to the United States because of incompetent Democrat leadership," Trump wrote. "We will not forget!"
