US Judge Criticizes Deportations
A US judge raised concerns over the deportation of Venezuelan migrants linked to Tren de Aragua, comparing their treatment to Nazis.
Legal Battle Over Alien Enemies Act
- 1798 law used by Trump administration to expedite deportations.
- Similar law applied during WWII against migrants from Japan, Germany, and Italy.
- Current use targets alleged gang members.
A lower court temporarily halted the deportations, prompting the government to appeal. The court seeks clarification on whether deported migrants had the chance to prove non-membership in Tren de Aragua.
Concerns raised by families suggest some deported individuals have no affiliation with the gang.
