Dec 22 (Reuters) – A U.S. judge has ruled that the administration of President Donald Trump must urgently arrange the return of about 137 Venezuelan men who were deported to El Salvador and jailed in the Central American nation over alleged ties to criminal gangs, Bloomberg News reported on Monday.
The men were deported to a prison in El Salvador in March under the Alien Enemies Act.
U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ruled their removal violated due-process rights and are entitled to return to court to contest their deportation. The Trump administration must submit a plan to allow for their return within two weeks, the judge ruled.
