The Trump administration said the president actually signed the proclamation contending Tren de Aragua was invading the United States Friday night but didn’t announce it until Saturday afternoon. Immigration lawyers said that, late Friday, they noticed Venezuelans who otherwise couldn’t be deported under immigration law being moved to Texas for deportation flights. They began to file lawsuits to halt the transfers.

“Basically any Venezuelan citizen in the US may be removed on pretext of belonging to Tren de Aragua, with no chance at defense,” Adam Isacson of the Washington Office for Latin America, a human rights group, warned on X.

From the article ...

U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg issued an order Saturday blocking the deportations but lawyers told him there were already two planes with immigrants in the air — one headed for El Salvador, the other for Honduras. Boasberg verbally ordered the planes be turned around, but they apparently were not and he did not include the directive in his written order.

Steve Vladeck, a professor at the Georgetown University Law Center, said that Boasberg’s verbal directive to turn around the planes was not technically part of his final order but that the Trump administration clearly violated the “spirit” of it.

“This just incentivizes future courts to be hyper specific in their orders and not give the government any wiggle room,” Vladeck said.

Honestly, not surprising.

They're bending the system as far as they can, and sometimes even breaking it, if they can get away with it.

If you give them an out, they'll take it.

Literally just slave trade.

With the way our system is currently work, they will most likely stay in a prison only to get out to be forced to work the farms on loan from the for-profit prisons. Which the tax payers will pay for. Looks like America is starting up the slave trade again and calling it prisoner loaning.

Yes, but not like you seem to be implying. These particular prisoners were being sent abroad for someone else's slave trade.

so by "deport", does that mean " imprison in another country"?

[–] ploot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Imprison and enslave in another country. For the rest of their lives, with no due process and no evidence of having done anything illegal.

CECOT prisoners do not receive visits and are never allowed outdoors. The prison does not offer workshops or educational programs to prepare them to return to society after their sentences.

...

Bukele’s justice minister has said that those held at CECOT would never return to their communities.

The Trump administration has not identified the migrants deported, provided any evidence they are in fact members of Tren de Aragua or that they committed any crimes in the U.S.

So he gets put in a cell now that he refused to comply with the order right?
