Trump Administration Knew Most Venezuelan Deportees Had No U.S. Criminal Record - News Facts Network
- On March 15, the Trump administration used the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport 238 Venezuelan men to CECOT, a high-security detention facility located in El Salvador.
- The deportations were carried out based on allegations that these individuals were connected with the Venezuelan criminal group known as Tren de Aragua, though U.S. intelligence determined there was no reliable evidence that the Venezuelan government directed the gang's activities.
- Investigations revealed that most deportees had no U.S. criminal convictions, with many offenses being nonviolent or immigration violations, and only 32 had convictions.
- ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt condemned the deportations as a clear breach of essential legal rights, emphasizing that detainees were denied access to legal counsel and the ability to communicate with their families.
- The deportations sparked court battles over presidential authority and highlight concerns that such actions could undermine immigrant legal protections and due process rights.
