Rodrguez Alluded to the Deportation of Some Venezuelans to El Salvador, and the President of the United States to the Prison Complexes
In his statement, Rodríguez also alluded to the deportation of some Venezuelans to El Salvador earlier in March, when President Trump invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act in order to target alleged members of a violent Venezuelan prison gang.
One of Donald Trumps campaign promises is to accelerate his plans for mass deportations. He has already sent people to third countries far from home and invoked the wartime law to achieve that goal. Arrests inside the country are up sharply relative to those in the Biden administration, but they are well below the levels Mr. Trump and his immigration advisers want.
The Trump administration has continued to stonewall the judge’s questions about the deportations to El Salvador. The judge at the hearing on Friday said that the government is not being cooperative at this point. I’ll get to the bottom of who was responsible for violating my order.
The president and his allies called for the judge’s impeachment, after he restricted deportations. The calls for the judge’s impeachment caused Chief Justice John G. Roberts to make a rare statement, admonishing them. Concerns of a constitutional crisis were spurred by this.
On Friday, Donald Trump made a threat regarding the ability to send people to the prison complexes in El Salvador, if they were caught vandalizingTeslas.
Venezuela’s President Nicolás Maduro has called for the return of the Venezuelan migrants sent by the U.S. to El Salvador, where President Nayib Bukele said they were transferred to a mega-prison known as CECOT.
The Secretary of State warned last week that the Trump administration was ready to impose “new, severe, and escalating sanctions” if the country didn’t accept migrants again.
