The Trump Administration, American District Judge James E. Despite a temporary relative order issued by Boseberg, Al Salvador and Honduras were deported to hundreds of Venezuela migrants. The order was issued under the 18th -century War -time law, in which the exile of persons accused of gang affiliation was stopped.
Boseberg ruled on Saturday, but flights were already in the air at that time. The lawyers told the judge that two aircrafts that took the migrants had already left, yet the administration did not give them verbal instructions.
Salvadoran president replies
Trump’s associate, Salvadoran’s President Naib Bukele reacted to the decision on social media.
“Uffsi … it’s too late,” Bukele posted on X, referring to exile, which allegedly included 300 migrants kept in Al Salvadoran jails at a cost of $ 6 million. His post was resumed by the White House Communications Director Steven Chewing.
US justifies exile under War -time law
The Trump administration called for the Act of foreign enemies of 1798, a rarely used law that the President gives the President’s comprehensive authority to detain or deport foreign nationals during the war.
State Secretary Marco Rubio defended the action, saying, “We sent more than 250 foreign enemy members of Train de Argua, which Al Salvador has agreed to keep in its very good jails at a reasonable price that will also save our taxpayer dollar.”
Venezuela condemns this step
The Venezuela government condemned the use of exile and the use of the Act at the time of war. A statement released on Sunday reminds the call of the law “from the dark episodes in human history, the terror of the Nazi concentration camps”.
ACLU challenges exile
ACLU, who filed the suit, led the preventive order, is investigating whether exile has violated the court order.
“This morning, we asked the government to assure the court that his order was not violated and waiting to listen, as well as trying to investigate himself,” said ACLU’s chief lawyer Lee Galerant.
Video footage has shown rigorous treatment
The video footage released by the government of Al Salvador shows that the officials in a riot gear pushed them towards waiting buses and jail facilities, shocking and fighting for a walk.
He was taken to the high-protection prison in the Sekot, Al Salvador, where he was shown kneeling, shaving his head, and turning into a white uniform of the prison.
Legal concerns on Trump’s executive order
Trump signed the announcement on Friday night, declaring the train de Argua as an attacking force, although it was not publicly announced until Saturday afternoon. Immigration lawyers reported that Venezuela, who was previously safe from exile, was being taken to Texas before flights, triggering legal challenges.
Human rights expert Adam Isakson warned on social media: “Originally any venezuela citizen in the US can be removed on the pretext of having no chance in defense, on the pretext of being related to Train D Argua.”
Court further blocked exile
The ACLU case was initially filed by five Venezuela held in Texas, who was feared to be a false accused of gang affiliation. Judge Boseberg gave preventive orders to all persons in federal custody after hearing on Saturday afternoon.
He said that the Alien Enemy Act was never used outside the Congress’s declared war, and the plaintiff could argue that Trump was more than his legal rights.
Court hearing scheduled
The preventive order will remain for 14 days, during which migrants should remain in federal custody. Judge Boseberg set a Friday hearing to review the legal arguments.
Boseberg emphasized the urgency of his decision: “Once they get out of the country, I could do it very little.”
