Trump Administration Deportations to El Salvador Continue Amid Legal and Human Rights Concerns
The U.S. deported 17 alleged gang members under Title 8 immigration law, bypassing the blocked Alien Enemies Act, as the Supreme Court considers lifting restrictions.
- The Trump administration deported 17 alleged members of Tren de Aragua and MS-13 to El Salvador on March 30, citing Title 8 immigration law rather than the Alien Enemies Act.
- El Salvador's CECOT prison, where the deportees were sent, has been criticized for overcrowding, torture, and lack of due process, raising international human rights concerns.
- Federal courts have blocked the use of the Alien Enemies Act for deportations, citing due process violations, but the administration has appealed to the Supreme Court to reinstate its use.
- Critics argue that the administration's reliance on tattoos and other questionable evidence to classify individuals as gang members risks wrongful deportations.
- Family members and advocates claim some deportees lack gang affiliations, and legal experts warn the deportations could violate international human rights obligations.
