A series of legal actions are unfolding regarding Venezuelan migrants deported to El Salvador under the Trump administration. A migrant has taken the first steps to sue the U.S. for his detention, filing a claim over his deportation to the notorious CECOT prison where he alleges he was beaten by guards. Meanwhile, attorneys representing other Venezuelan migrants have sought their return to the U.S. following their release from prison. Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg is assessing the legality of the deportations and considering disciplinary actions for Department of Justice lawyers involved in these cases. Additionally, the judge has greenlighted efforts to hold the Trump administration in contempt for its handling of these migrant cases, as calls for accountability grow amidst reports of severe mistreatment and ongoing legal battles.
