ACLU ensures that, according to information delivered by relatives of the detainees in a center in ANSEN (Texas), the government seeks to send migrants to the Central American country tonight or tomorrow.
The migrants, details the appeal, are being accused by the officers of the Immigration and Customs Service (ICE) of being part of the Trena de Aragua gang and gave them documents in English to sign and accept their expulsion.
“Emergency intervention is necessary to (…) prevent irreparable and permanent damage to the plaintiffs,” said Acu in the appeal before the Supreme.
Last week, the Supreme magistrates issued a ruling that allows the Government to continue with the expulsions of migrants to a megacárcel in El Salvador, as long as they are notified of the transfer and give them the opportunity to challenge the decision within a “reasonable” period.
The US government reached an agreement with the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, to be able to send migrants arrested to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT), a noticeable prison for complaints of human rights abuse.
As part of the treatment, of which specific details are not known, Washington will pay El Salvador six million dollars per year to sustain the prison system.
In total, the United States has sent more than 200 migrants, mostly Venezuelans, to this jail, accusing them of belonging to the Criminal Band of Aragua.
However, according to an analysis published last week by the portal Bloomberg90% of the more than 200 men that the US has imprisoned in the Central American country has no criminal record in US territory.
