Hundreds of Venezuelans deported to El Salvador have right to challenge detention, judge rules
- U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ruled on Wednesday that at least 137 migrants sent to a high-security prison in El Salvador must be granted the opportunity to contest their detentions.
- The deportations took place in March after President Trump invoked a centuries-old wartime statute to rapidly remove suspected gang members without following standard immigration procedures.
- Boasberg found the migrants were deprived of due process as they were sent to El Salvador’s supermax CECOT prison without proper notice or chance to contest removal.
- Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to propose ways to enable habeas corpus filings to address constitutional violations, noting “the process must now be afforded to them.”
- The ruling implies the government must remedy the violations despite prior deportations and signals ongoing judicial resistance to the administration's aggressive immigration policies.

A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s government should facilitate Venezuelan migrants expelled to El Salvador to challenge their cases and give him “a week” to say how he will do it. In March, the Republican president invoked the Foreign Enemies Act of 1798, used until then only in times of war, to expel Venezuelan migrants to a megaprison in El Salvador. Trump accused them of being members of the Aragua Train band, d…
