Venezuelans deported under the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act and detained in El Salvador's high-security Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) no longer appear in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's online detainee locator and the U.S. has not provided evidence of their alleged gang affiliations according to a new report from The Associated Press.
The detainees, alleged by the U.S. government to be members of the "Tren de Aragua" gang, have also not appeared before a judge in El Salvador and are not serving sentences, raising questions about when and how they could ever be freed.
