A federal appeals court judge revealed a troubling comparison between the treatment of Nazi suspects during World War II and that of individuals accused of association with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. Judge Patricia Millett argued that during a time of greater peril, the U.S. respected the due process rights of suspected Nazis more than it does today for members of Tren de Aragua, who face summary treatment without the opportunity to contest their status, as compared to the military trials afforded to captured Nazi saboteurs.
Judge Patricia Millett noted that during World War II, due process rights for suspected Nazis were respected more than for those accused of being part of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
At the height of WWII, America provided trials to Nazi saboteurs, while recent treatment of Venezuelan gang members lacked the same due process, raising concerns about civil liberties.
