The article discusses the deportation of a Venezuelan LGBTQ+ asylum seeker to El Salvador's CECOT, a notorious facility likened to Guantánamo Bay due to its history of human rights abuses. Legal challenges led by a federal judge against Trump's administration reveal serious ramifications, as those deported lack a means to contest their designation as gang members. CECOT, intended for 20,000 but filled beyond capacity, raises alarms about the treatment of detainees and the use of the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act to justify such deportations.
Lawyer Margaret Cargioli expressed deep concern over the deportation of a Venezuelan LGBTQ+ asylum seeker to CECOT, noting that no deportation order had been issued at the time of detainment, raising significant legal issues.
Federal judge James Boasberg highlighted the troubling policy implications of deporting immigrants to CECOT without legal recourse, stating that the lack of allowed contestation regarding gang membership is alarming.
