Briefly

The NYT investigates Trump's controversial efforts to deport Venezuelans to El Salvador, highlighting Stephen Miller's manipulation of the Alien Enemies Act for expedited removals without due process. The narrative exposes how Miller's misrepresentation of the Tren de Aragua gang has fueled a deceptive deportation regime. Courts are moving towards discovery aimed at holding accountable those behind these actions, indicating significant legal consequences for the administration's prior claims. Critical omissions in the reporting reveal deeper implications on immigration policy and civil rights.
