TL;DR
- Federal Judge James Boasberg ordered the Trump administration to submit plans for hearings for over 200 migrants deported to El Salvador's CECOT mega-prison.
- The migrants were deported in March under the Alien Enemies Act, an 18th-century wartime authority, with little to no process.
- The judge certified a class representing all migrants sent to the prison and stated the government must submit plans by January 5th.
- The migrants were later sent to Venezuela in July as part of a prisoner exchange.
- The judge ruled that the U.S. government retained constructive custody and violated the migrants' due process rights by not allowing them to challenge their designation as members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
- The court declared that the plaintiffs should not have been removed without notice or an opportunity to challenge the bases for their removal.
- El Salvador imprisoned the men at the United States' request, partly in exchange for $4.7 million.
- The decision allows all migrants sent to CECOT to challenge their designation as enemy aliens and members of Tren de Aragua.
- The government can facilitate their return to the U.S. or offer hearings without returning them, provided such hearings meet due process requirements.
- ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt stated the men will finally get due process after suffering immeasurable abuses.
