0:53Now PlayingThe Trump administration is hitting back after viral news drone footage showed federal immigration detainees spelling out “SOS” from a prison yard in Texas this week.
The 31 detainees, clad in red and orange jumpsuits, were first seen waving to a Reuters drone while socializing and playing soccer in an outside recreational area surrounded by razor wire fencing before getting into a formation to spell out “SOS” — a Morse code word for “help.”
But the “real story” behind the footage is “that the Biden administration was releasing gang members into American communities,” the Department of Homeland Security asserted on X Thursday.
The footage, which was taken above the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bluebonnet detention center in Anson, Texas, came just ten days after dozens of Venezuelan nationals detained at the facility were formally accused of being members of the violent prison gang Tren de Aragua and will likely face deportation, according to Reuters.
The alleged gangbangers were swiftly loaded onto a bus to the Abilene Regional Airport, but they were quickly turned around to head back to the detention center after the Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s effort to deport them without a hearing using the 18th century Alien Enemies Act.
