Overview

  • The Trump administration has deported over 100,000 individuals since January 2025, using Title 8 immigration law after a court blocked the Alien Enemies Act.
  • Andry José Hernández Romero, a gay Venezuelan asylum-seeker, was reportedly deported to El Salvador after being misclassified as a gang member due to his tattoos.
  • Joe Rogan criticized the deportation policies, calling the wrongful detention of non-criminals in El Salvador's maximum-security prison 'horrific' and damaging to public support for immigration enforcement.
  • El Salvador's CECOT prison, where deportees are held, has faced global scrutiny for alleged human rights violations, including overcrowding and harsh conditions.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem recently toured the CECOT facility, emphasizing the administration's focus on targeting criminal illegal immigrants despite growing criticism over errors and misclassifications.
