"The family only discovered that their loved one, Jerce Reyes Barrios, had been renditioned to #ElSalvador when they saw him in viral videos posted by the #Trump administration, in which it celebrated what it said was the mass deportation of violent members of the #Venezuelan gang #TrenDeAragua. "

WH Press Sec Karoline Leavitt tells Andrew Feinberg of TheIndependent, “Shame on you" after he asked her about #ICE's "#AlienEnemiesAct Validation Guide” which the #Trump admin FILED IN COURT that states for ICE to label a person a member of #TdA, they must:

1) determine they are a #Venezuelan & over 14, &

2) find 8 points on a scoring guide they made:

4 points for having alleged *gang* tattoos +
4 points for displaying gang "logos" or
"symbols"

That’s it.

A federal judge has ordered the immediate release of a Washington-area #Venezuelan couple who contend they’ve been unfairly swept up in #Trump’s crackdown on Venezuela-based gang #TdA.

Luddis Sanchez Garcia, 33, & Julio Sanchez Puentes, 27, walked out of the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, Friday morning surrounded by supporters after US District Judge Leonie Brinkema declared there was no legal basis for their #detention.

A three-judge panel from the D.C. Circuit #CourtOfAppeals has denied the #WhiteHouse's push to restart #deportations under a rarely used wartime authority.

By a vote of 2 to 1, the judges on Wednesday left in place a lower court order that temporarily blocked the #Trump administration from quickly deporting alleged #Venezuelan gang members under the #AlienEnemiesAct of 1798.

[17:41] US judge blocks deportation of Venezuelans to El Salvador

Venezuelan migrants targeted by the Trump administration for deportation under a little-used 18th-century law must be allowed to challenge the decision to remove them, a judge has ruled in rejecting the US government's request to set aside a temporary ban on such deportations.

In a statement, #DOJ ofcls said 3 men had been declared “alien enemies” & would be sent to Chile to face #criminal charges there. The men are Venezuelan citizens, though one is also a citizen of Ecuador & another a citizen of Colombia.

They were arrested during routine #ICE check-ins. Then they disappeared.
#Deportation proceedings are often shrouded in secrecy. But lawyers say the lack of information about the #Venezuelan migrants deported under the #AlienEnemiesAct is nearly unprecedented.

WTF?!

“President Trump is once again raising eyebrows with his claim on Friday that he didn’t actually sign a proclamation invoking the arcane 1778 wartime law, which his administration leaned on to carry out last weekend’s night flight deportation of alleged #Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador…”
