El Salvador acknowledged to United Nations investigators that control over deported Venezuelan men lies with the Trump administration, countering public claims. More than 100 migrants are challenging their deportations to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CEcot). Salvadoran officials indicated the U.S. retains jurisdiction, while the Trump administration argued it cannot intervene. A U.N. inquiry has been looking into the fate of these individuals, especially since a U.S. judge ordered their repatriation. The ACLU argues the U.N. findings contradict the U.S. government’s statements regarding the migrants' legal status and rights.
Salvadoran officials confirmed to U.N. investigators that the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for Venezuelan deportees lie with the United States government, contradicting previous statements.
The U.S. administration maintains it has no power to return the Venezuelan men deported to El Salvador, yet the ACLU argues that the U.N. report shows otherwise.
Lawyers for the migrants claim the U.N. report reveals that the U.S. controls the conditions of Venezuelans held at El Salvador's CECOT prison.
The Justice Department declined to comment on the allegation that the U.S. government has not been forthright with the court regarding the deported migrants.
