Overview

• A group of 31 Venezuelan detainees at the Bluebonnet Detention Facility used an 'SOS' formation visible to a drone to draw attention to their plight.
• The Trump administration invoked the rarely used 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport the detainees, alleging ties to the Tren de Aragua gang without publicly presenting evidence.
• The Supreme Court temporarily halted the deportations last Saturday, leaving the detainees in legal limbo as questions about due process persist.
• Families of several detainees dispute the gang allegations, with reports indicating at least one detainee has no criminal record or evidence of gang affiliation.
• Detainees fear potential deportation to El Salvador's CECOT maximum-security prison, where at least 137 Venezuelans have already been sent.
