Trump Admin Identified Venezuelan Gang Members for Deportation: ACLU
Newly surfaced documents suggest the Trump administration identified and deported suspected members of the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua. The ACLU claims these individuals were then imprisoned in El Salvador. Hundreds of alleged gang members were reportedly deported based on the administration's criteria. This raises concerns about due process and potential human rights violations.
Documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) appear to outline the Trump administration's methods for identifying and deporting alleged members of the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua. According to the ACLU, hundreds of individuals suspected of gang affiliation were deported to El Salvador, where they faced imprisonment. The documents allegedly detail the criteria used by the administration to determine gang membership, raising questions about the reliability and fairness of the process. Critics argue that the deportations may have violated due process rights and exposed individuals to potential human rights abuses in El Salvador. The ACLU is currently reviewing the documents and considering legal action.
