# No Safe Harbor for Illegal Immigrant Criminals Under President Trump

The White House
April 14, 2025

Today, President Donald J. Trump hosts Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele at the White House, where they’ll showcase their historic partnership to make the world a safer place.
Thanks to the two leaders, scores of violent illegal immigrant killers, rapists, gang members, and other sick criminals have been swiftly taken off our streets.
Here is a tiny sample of the cold-blooded criminals deported to El Salvador:

- Jorge Luis Guerrero-Quintero, a Venezuelan national and confirmed Tren de Aragua gang member, convicted of raping a 14-year-old girl, second-degree assault with intent to cause physical injury, second-degree menacing with a weapon, and criminal possession of a weapon.
- Kerwin Arturo Leal-Estrada, a Venezuelan national and confirmed Tren de Aragua gang member, whose social media accounts show him displaying gang tattoos and signs, holding firearms, and revealing an apparent gunshot wound.
- Jorge Luis Zerpa-Belancourt, a Venezuelan national and confirmed Tren de Aragua gang member, convicted on making false statements, making terroristic threats, domestic battering, interfering with emergency communications, and theft.
- Jose Lopez-Cruz, a Salvadoran national and confirmed MS-13 gang member, with a previous conviction for felony assault when he was arrested and charged with multiple counts of felony assault, reckless endangerment, concealing a dangerous weapon, minor in possession of a firearm, and dangerous weapon with intent.
