Judge Michael Farbiarz ruled that the Trump administration lacks sufficient grounds to deport or detain Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University activist and lawful permanent resident.

Under the Trump administration, numerous Venezuelan asylum seekers have been deported to El Salvador without due process, effectively disappearing from the U.S. system. These deportations, often based on unsubstantiated gang affiliations or seemingly arbitrary factors like tattoos, leave families unable to locate their loved ones, whose names vanish from official databases. Experts argue that these actions meet the UN definition of “enforced disappearances,” a tactic used by authoritarian regimes to suppress dissent and instill fear. The lack of transparency and denial of legal recourse surrounding these deportations raise serious human rights concerns.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s deportation to El Salvador was a mistake, or so it seemed. Now, he’s on his way back to the United States to face criminal charges. The charges allege his participation in a long-running conspiracy to transport undocumented migrants within the U.S., spanning years and potentially involving thousands of individuals. This raises significant questions about the timing of these charges, appearing only after the controversy surrounding his initial deportation.
The indictment alleges that Garcia, 29, played a role in a conspiracy to move undocumented migrants from Texas to other parts of the country. Sources familiar with the investigation claim that some of those transported were affiliated with MS-13, a claim requiring further scrutiny and evidence.… Continue reading
Following a U.S. District Judge’s ruling, a Guatemalan man, O.C.G., wrongly deported without due process, has been returned to the United States by the Trump administration. The judge determined O.C.G.’s deportation violated his rights, citing a lack of notice and opportunity to contest his transfer to Mexico, where he faced danger. O.C.G., who sought asylum after violent attacks in Guatemala, will now undergo further due process proceedings. This marks a significant precedent, as it is the first high-profile case where the administration has complied with such a court order.

Jordin Melgar-Salmeron, a Salvadoran man, was deported despite a federal appeals court order blocking his removal. The government attributes the deportation, which occurred minutes after the order, to “a confluence of administrative errors,” citing communication breakdowns between ICE offices in Buffalo and Louisiana. This incident follows other instances of alleged wrongful deportations under the Trump administration, raising concerns about due process. The government maintains the deportation did not violate the court order because it began before the order was formally issued, a claim disputed by Melgar-Salmeron’s lawyer.
