A federal judge has ordered the U.S. government to provide due process to certain migrants who were deported to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison. The ruling, reported by CBS News' Camilo Montoya-Galvez, stems from the use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport these individuals. The judge's decision mandates that the government ensure these migrants receive proper legal proceedings and protections.
Critics of the deportations have argued that sending migrants to CECOT without due process violates their rights. CECOT, a massive prison in El Salvador, has been a subject of international scrutiny due to its size and conditions. The ruling aims to address concerns about the lack of legal recourse for migrants facing deportation under this act. Further details on the implementation of the order are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
