Detainees signal SOS outside migrant facility ahead of deportations
- On April 28, 31 Venezuelan detainees held in a Texas immigration facility in Anson formed an SOS signal with their bodies over concerns about possible deportation.
- The detainees were issued deportation notices invoking a wartime statute from 1798 that allowed removal without immigration court proceedings, accusing them of connections to the Tren de Aragua gang despite many denying these allegations and having no criminal histories.
- Detainees like Diover Millán and Jeferson Escalona, with conflicting allegations about gang affiliation, reported harsh detention conditions and uncertainty as deportations could bypass immigration courts.
- On April 18, several detainees were nearly deported to El Salvador’s CECOT maximum security prison, known for severe conditions, until the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily blocked the removals.
- The legal standoff highlights concerns about immigrant rights, the rare use of the Alien Enemies Act, and possible human rights issues if deportations to CECOT resume after the court’s block is lifted.
