The president of the United States, Donald Trump, He suffered a hard setback to his immigration policy. The Supreme Court of his country ordered this Saturday temporarily suspending deportations of Venezuelan citizens to El Salvador. The American Union of Civil Liberties (ACLU) had denounced that migrants from the South American country were going to be expelled without the judicial review that had ordered the highest court.
The Trump government accuses half a hundred Venezuelans in terms of being parts of the Venezuelan criminal organization of Aragua. They are arrested at the Bluebonnet detention center, in Anson, Texas, under the law of foreign enemies of 1798.
Despite this serious accusation, the US Court ordered that the federal government “You should not deport any member of the United States detainees to New Order.” The ruling had seven votes in favor and two against. More than 200 Venezuelans were already deported to El Salvador of President Nayib Bukele and housed at the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).
The ACLU said that the Trump government was violated a previous ruling of the highest court that, although authorized deportations to the Bukele Cecot, it was necessary to guarantee a previous notification and give them a “reasonable time” to appeal the decision.
The link between Bukele and Trump and the Kilmar Armando Abrego García case
Bukele visited Trump on April 14. It meant an important happened to strengthen its position as one of the closest allies of the new administration Trumpwhich has taken distance from several traditional partners. The Salvadoran president, known both for his popularity and for his authoritarian style, has been defined as “the most cool dictator” and “philosopher king”, while implementing security policies that were harshly criticized by international human rights organizations for systematic violations.
“He is doing an excellent job. He is helping us solve many problems,” he said Trump Sunday while returning from a sporting event in Miami aboard the Air Force One.
One of the most controversial elements of this collaboration is the center of confinement of terrorism (CECOT), a megacárcel in El Salvador that Bukele offered to USA As a detention center for deported migrants, in exchange for a payment. A video recently published by the Salvadoran government shows the arrival of the last deported in shackles, which has aroused criticism for the lack of clear evidence that links them with criminal activities.
The US authorities have resorted to the centenary law of foreign enemies to justify some of these rapid deportations, a legal norm originally designed for war times. The Supreme Court recently ratified the temporary use of this law, although it also ordered that the return of a Salvadoran citizen deported by mistake from Maryland be “facilitated”.
However, the Trump administration has minimized its responsibility, arguing that it does not have the obligation to directly manage the return of the individual in question, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. According to official documents, Garcia remains “alive and safe” in Cecot, although there is no clarity about the concrete steps for repatriation.
