The Trump administration was warned that ending US protections for more than 300,000 Central Americans would strengthen and grow MS-13 and gangs that President Donald Trump has called "animals," according to an internal report obtained by CNN.
But the administration went on to end the protections for citizens of El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras and Nicaragua regardless.
The warnings came from experts at the State Department in October 2017, and were attached to a letter from then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to then-acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke.
