We’re Finally Seeing the “Evidence” Against the Migrants Deported by Trump. It’s Unbelievable.

Lawyers Warn of Imminent Deportation of Migrants Under Rarely Invoked Wartime Law​

Lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union raced on Friday evening to stop the Trump administration from deporting a new group of Venezuelan migrants accused of being gang members under the expansive powers of a rarely invoked wartime law.

More than 50 Venezuelans were scheduled to be flown out of the country — presumably to El Salvador — from an immigration detention center in Anson, Texas, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. The A.C.L.U. in recent days has secured court orders barring similar deportations under the law, the Alien Enemies Act, in places including New York, Denver and Brownsville, Texas.

The situation in Anson was urgent enough that A.C.L.U. lawyers pressed their case in three different courts within five hours.

The lawyers started with an emergency filing in Federal District Court in Abilene, Texas, in which they claimed that officers at the Bluebonnet Detention Center in Anson had started distributing notices to Venezuelan immigrants informing them that they could face deportation as soon as Friday night.

Garcia got his due process.
He was granted legal status. once granted, he is entitled to the same level of due process as any citizen. To be sentenced to prison, due process requires conviction in a criminal court, ability to confront accusers in a criminal court, attorney[s present, cross examination of witnesses, and so forth, he was afforded none of those things. Sorry, you're mistaken.

You seem to be under the mistaken delu that the legal process used to deport a foreign terrorist is the exact same as the legal process used to prosecute a robber.

It isn't.

Legally, Trump could have Garcia killed.

I'm sorry, but your comment is not factually correct. Once granted legal status, which he was in 2019, he is entitled to due process. The president cannot declare anyone a terrorist without due process. Since due process has yet to be afforded Garcia, such a declaration is null and void.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was granted legal protection from deportation in 2019 due to the risk of gang violence in El Salvador. Despite this, the Trump administration deported him without following proper legal procedures, claiming he was affiliated with the MS-13 gang. Courts have repeatedly emphasized that due process is a constitutional right, and the administration's actions have been criticized for bypassing these protections.
