Over the weekend, the Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, which facilitated their transfer to the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT) facility built by Salvadorean President Nayib Bukele.
U.S. officials said deportees are criminals and members of the Venezuelan-born Tren de Aragua gang, but the families of some of those taken to El Salvador claim their loved ones don't have any ties with organized crime.
