I am writing to express my deep concern over the recent reports that the U.S. government has illegally deported Venezuelan migrants to a prison in El Salvador under dubious claims of gang affiliation. The use of the Alien Enemies Act to justify these deportations is both unprecedented and alarming, raising serious legal and human rights concerns. Many of these individuals appear to have been misidentified, and reports indicate that ICE continued deportations despite a federal judge's order halting them. This is unacceptable. I urge you to demand full transparency from ICE and the Trump administration, push for congressional hearings on this matter, and take action to ensure that such violations of due process and human dignity do not continue. Please let me know what steps you are taking to hold those responsible accountable.
