In a series of recent rulings, federal judges have determined that Venezuelan migrants deported to El Salvador under the Trump administration have the right to contest their detention and removals. Judges have emphasized that these deportees must be granted due process and the opportunity to challenge allegations of gang affiliation while incarcerated in a Salvadoran prison. Specifically, challenges have been heard regarding deportations carried out under the Alien Enemies Act, with one judge labeling such actions as illegal. As immigration courts begin dismissing cases related to these deportations, concerns rise about the future of those affected, many of whom find their chances of returning to the U.S. diminishing. Advocates and legal representatives are urging a response to these developments as the situation continues to unfold.
