A group of Venezuelans who were deported from the United States to El Salvador's maximum-security CECOT prison and later returned to Venezuela urged Washington to comply with a federal court ruling they say would allow them to challenge their deportations in U.S. courts and seek what they called a "fair hearing."

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ruled last week that the Trump administration must urgently arrange a path for hundreds of Venezuelans deported to El Salvador to contest their removals, finding their expulsion violated due process and that they have a right to challenge it in court. Under the order, the administration must submit a plan within two weeks outlining how it will facilitate that process.
