The U.S. government has deported individuals, including Venezuelan asylum seekers, to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, claiming ties to the Tren de Aragua gang. This action has sparked criticism regarding human rights, as detainees are sent to a controversial facility known for alleged abuses. One deportee, Jerce Reyes Barrios, had previously sought asylum lawfully. His legal representation questions the validity of the accusations against deportees, highlighting a lack of transparency from the Department of Homeland Security concerning evidence of criminality among these individuals.
"DHS wants the public to believe these people are criminals and gang members. So if they have proof of that, why wouldn't they release it to the public?"
"Despite having no criminal record in his home country, the father of two was detained in a maximum-security prison while awaiting his asylum hearing."
