The Department of Homeland Security is preparing to send Venezuelan men from the U.S. to El Salvador’s CECOT prison, prompting the ACLU to take legal action. A charter bus arrived at the Bluebonnet Detention Center in Texas where the men are being held, leading to an emergency hearing with U.S. District Judge James Boasberg. The ACLU also sought intervention from the Supreme Court. The Trump administration had previously sent over 200 men to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, citing gang membership allegations. The ACLU challenged this use of the act, leading to the Supreme Court ruling that detainees must be given a chance to challenge the allegations. President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to remove immigrants quickly, claiming the men were members of a designated foreign terrorist organization. The administration’s actions have been controversial, with relatives disputing the allegations against the men. The DHS spokesperson declined to confirm if deportations from Bluebonnet were imminent, citing compliance with the Supreme Court ruling. The legal battle continues as the ACLU seeks to protect the rights of the Venezuelan men facing deportation to El Salvador and its notorious prison.
