Trump Administration Faces Scrutiny Over Deportations Defying Court Order
Over 250 alleged Venezuelan gang members were deported under the Alien Enemies Act, raising legal and human rights concerns.
- A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking President Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan gang members, citing potential constitutional violations.
- Despite the court order, flights carrying over 250 alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang were sent to El Salvador, where they were detained in a controversial mega-prison.
- The Salvadoran president confirmed the arrivals and posted a dismissive message about the court ruling, while U.S. officials praised the deportation as a measure to enhance public safety.
- Critics, including the ACLU, argue that some deported individuals may not have gang affiliations and were denied due process to contest their removal.
- The Alien Enemies Act, a rarely used wartime law, has sparked legal and ethical debates, with a hearing scheduled to further examine its application in this case.
