Judge Venezuelans Deported Under Trump Had Fewer Rights Than Nazis
A shocking statement from a U.S. appeals court judge has raised serious concerns about the treatment of Venezuelan migrants deported under the Trump administration. Judge Patricia Millett compared their situation to that of Nazis during World War II, saying they had more rights to contest their removal than the Venezuelans deported today.
Venezuelans Deported Without a Fair Hearing in USA
The Trump administration used the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged members of the Tren de Aragua gang. However, many Venezuelans claim they were wrongly labeled as gang members and removed without due process. Even a professional Venezuelan soccer player was deported based on a tattoo that authorities misinterpreted.
Court Blocks Deportation of Venezuelans in USA
Judge James Boasberg placed a two-week ban on deportations, arguing that the should have the chance to prove their innocence. Despite this, government lawyers refuse to provide details about deportation flights, citing national security concerns.
Trump Reaction and Supreme Court Response
Trump strongly opposed the ruling and even called for Boasberg’s impeachment. However, Chief Justice John Roberts defended judicial independence, pushing back against Trump’s demands in USA.
Venezuelans Detained in El Salvador
Over 200 Venezuelans were deported to El Salvador, where they were detained in a high-security prison. The ACLU argues that these must be brought back since their deportation violated the court order.
This case has become a major test of executive power, raising questions about the rights of Venezuelan migrants and the limits of presidential authority in immigration matters.
