Rubio Says US Does Not Know Whereabouts of 137 Venezuelans Deported Under the Alien Enemies Act
The U.S. cannot locate 137 Venezuelans deported under the Alien Enemies Act and argues hearings could harm foreign policy, according to filings by Secretary Marco Rubio.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio told a federal court Monday that the Trump administration cannot locate 137 Venezuelan migrants deported last year and warned hearings would `risk material damage` to U.S. foreign policy interests.
- Boasberg's ruling in December said the 137 migrants `received constitutionally inadequate process` in March and ordered the government to facilitate a meaningful opportunity to contest their designation.
- The migrants were deported to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, and in July, El Salvador released 252 Venezuelan nationals, including the 137, as part of a prisoner swap.
- Legal challenges from the American Civil Liberties Union and Democracy Forward prompted a judge to block the Alien Enemies Act, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in April that migrants must get `reasonable time` to bring habeas complaints.
- The secretary of state's filing comes amid an administration push on immigration, reflecting an approach that has escalated in recent months with federal agents sent to multiple cities.
