Federal judge ruled 137 deported Venezuelans lacked due process; US government cannot confirm their whereabouts, citing risks to foreign policy, Rubio stated.

- The migrants, alleged to be affiliated with a Venezuelan gang, were deported to and imprisoned in El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, but later released as part of a prisoner swap between the US and Venezuela.
