U.S. Court Orders Immediate Return of Venezuelans Deported to El Salvador

A U.S. federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration must urgently arrange the return of approximately 137 Venezuelan men who were deported to El Salvador and subsequently jailed there, according to Bloomberg News. The men were sent to El Salvador over alleged links to criminal gangs, but the court has demanded swift action to reverse the deportations.

The ruling highlights ongoing concerns over the treatment of Venezuelan nationals and the legality of their deportation under U.S. and international law. Advocates for the men argue that their detention in El Salvador places them at significant risk, and the judge’s order underscores the need for immediate governmental intervention.

The decision adds pressure on U.S. immigration authorities to act quickly and coordinate with Salvadoran officials to ensure the safe return of those affected. It also raises broader questions about the Trump administration’s deportation policies and their compliance with human rights standards.
