Civil rights attorneys raise the alarm about 3 NY asylum-seekers currently held in a Texas detention facility
Briefly

Three Venezuelan men seeking asylum in New York are detained in Texas, risking removal to a notorious detention camp in El Salvador. The U.S. Supreme Court intervened with a temporary order preventing their deportation. Legal Aid Society attorneys represent two of the men, both of whom have pending asylum claims and have not been adjudicated in court, while a third man is represented by Brooklyn Defender Services. These detainees lack criminal records and face prolonged uncertainty due to immigration court backlogs.
The U.S. Supreme Court issued a temporary order prohibiting the deportation of Venezuelan men detained at Bluebonnet, emphasizing the importance of asylum claims.
Deborah Lee from the Legal Aid Society highlighted that her clients have pending asylum claims and have not yet had their cases ruled on.
