&ldquo;We need to get better at treating this like a business,&rdquo; the Acting ICE Director said.&nbsp;

These speakers praised Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans.&nbsp;
Lyons also pointed at new technology being potentially implemented in the deportation process. He hoped that the agency could utilise artificial intelligence to &ldquo;free up bed space&rdquo; and &ldquo;fill up airplanes&rdquo;, allowing Ice to deport immigrants at a quicker pace.

Valerii Zaluzhnyi, former commander-in-chief and current ambassador to the UK revealed the US-Ukrainian military headquarters in Germany, calling it a "secret weapon" for planning military operations during the war with Russia.
Zaluzhnyi said the headquarters is located in &nbsp;Wiesbaden, Germany, adding that it has become a secret weapon for our partners.&nbsp;

"Over time, we realized that we needed a joint operational headquarters with our partners to assess the needs for weapons and equipment based on the planning of operations," he wrote.

'DO IT NOW': Trump calls on companies to move to US, offers them 'ZERO TARIFFS' and quick approvals

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday hailed the Supreme Court's "big ruling" for clearing the way for his administration to move further with the deportation of certain immigrants under the "Alien Enemies Act".&nbsp;
Trump might continue to use a 1978 law to deport alleged gang members to Venezuela, the US top court said, however, it will apply certain limits to it.&nbsp;
The Supreme Court's ruling included deporting alleged gang members under a wartime law dating back to 1798 called the "<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-targets-venezuela-gang-with-alien-enemies-act-of-1798-used-in-world-war-i-8857510">Alien Enemies Act</a>".

Trump on March 15 invoked the Aliens Enemies Act to deport alleged gang members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
The 18th-century law was used only when the country was at war. Trump created a buzz when he invoked the law - an aggressive and unprecedented use of presidential power.&nbsp;
The US officials flew 250 accused gang members to El Salvador, Trump's favourite prison.&nbsp;
At the El Salvador prison, the alleged criminals &mdash; including 238 members of Tren de Aragua and 23 MS-13 operatives &mdash; were met by heavily armed commandos, chained, and transferred to the infamous Terrorism Confinement Centre (CECOT).
