Judge Boasberg, an Obama appointee, ruled that the Trump DOJ must give illegal alien Venezuelan gang members sent to El Salvador’s CECOT prison a chance to challenge their deportations.
Boasberg ruled nearly every single one of the 140 Venezuelan gang members sent to CECOT were deported illegally.
The judge said the Trump Administration must give the deported gang members a chance to seek habeas relief in court.
“Significant evidence has come to light indicating that many of those entombed in CECOT have no connection to the gang and thus languish in a foreign prison on flimsy, even frivolous, accusations,” the judge wrote, according to Politico.

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that nearly 140 Venezuelan men flown from the U.S. to El Salvador in March based on a wartime power invoked by President Donald Trump were deported illegally, but the court stopped short of ordering the Trump administration to seek to bring the men back.
Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg gave the administration a week to propose a plan for how the men — believed to currently be in a notorious anti-terrorism prison in El Salvador — can pursue cases in U.S. courts challenging their deportations.
“Mindful of national-security and foreign-policy concerns, the Court will not — at least yet — order the Government to take any specific steps. It will instead allow Defendants to submit proposals regarding the appropriate actions,” Boasberg wrote in a 69-page opinion.
