Judge Orders Return of 137 Deported Venezuelans to U.S.
The Spin
Anti-Trump narrative
Deporting 137 Venezuelans to a brutal torture prison without any hearings or chance to defend themselves represents a flagrant violation of constitutional due process rights. The administration defied court orders, sent people to CECOT based on flimsy gang accusations despite most having no criminal records, and now refuses to remedy this egregious wrong by telling the court to pound sand.
Pro-Trump narrative
These Venezuelan deportees were properly removed under lawful authority as suspected members of the dangerous Tren de Aragua gang that threatens American citizens. An activist Obama-appointed judge is now forcing their return despite the administration's legitimate national security concerns, overstepping judicial bounds to obstruct the president from executing the will of the American people on immigration enforcement.
