A U.S. federal judge has ordered the Venezuelan men that the Trump administration deported to El Salvador early last year be returned to the United States, stating that they did not receive due process in some cases.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued the order on Thursday.
The high-profile case involves the U.S. deportation of 252 suspected Venezuelan nationals, who were also suspected Tren de Aragua gang members, to CECOT prison in El Salvador early last year.
Department of Justice lawyers told Boasberg on Monday that bringing over 100 Venezuelans back to the U.S. for immigration hearings would be preferable to remote hearings from El Salvador, Venezuela or other locations outside the U.S.
