Summary
The U.S. deported 238 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison using the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
Internal documents show 75% had no known criminal record. Some, like a makeup artist and a soccer player, had pending asylum claims.
The Trump administration claimed links to the Tren de Aragua gang, citing tattoos and social media, but lawyers and experts say evidence is flimsy.
Despite a court order to halt the deportation, flights proceeded. Critics warn the move bypasses due process and violates international human rights standards.

Well shit, with that logic we should lockup and deport all the brown people!
Whats that? You say your innocent? Well some guy on the Internets says you could have bribed your criminal records away so you must be lying.
Say Shardkprime, what color is your skin? Since we can’t prove you don’t have a criminal record you better be able to prove your not on of them.
