ACLU Halts Deportation of Venezuelans to El Salvador Prison

In a dramatic turn of events, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) secured a Supreme Court ruling to prevent the deportation of Venezuelan asylum seekers to a prison in El Salvador. The case, which unfolded with remarkable speed, underscored the intense legal battles surrounding immigration policy under the Trump administration. According to the ACLU's lead attorney, the organization worked tirelessly to present evidence demonstrating the significant risks the Venezuelans would face if deported to the Salvadoran prison.

The ACLU argued that sending asylum seekers to a prison in a country other than their own violated international law and posed a serious threat to their safety. The Supreme Court's intervention came just hours before the scheduled deportation, highlighting the urgency of the situation. The ACLU celebrated the ruling as a victory for human rights and a reaffirmation of the right to seek asylum. However, the organization acknowledged that the fight for fair and humane immigration policies is far from over, emphasizing the need for continued vigilance and advocacy.
