Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodríguez Condemns “Human Rights Violations” Against Venezuelan Migrants in El Salvador

This Thursday, CBS News, an American media outlet, released an “internal government list containing the names of Venezuelan men deported to El Salvador by the Trump administration.” The deportation was carried out under the Alien Enemies Act, a law not used since World War II, which allows the expulsion of non-citizens without granting them the right to appear before an immigration judge or federal court.

On Sunday, March 16, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele announced the arrival of 238 alleged members of the criminal organization Tren de Aragua from the United States, following a request from former President Donald Trump. In exchange, Washington agreed to pay $6 million.

Four days after the deportation, CBS News published the list, claiming it had obtained it as part of a “secret operation.” The list includes the names of Venezuelan men deported to El Salvador, sparking debates over the legality and ethics of the move. Critics argue that the use of the Alien Enemies Act is an extreme measure, raising concerns about human rights and due process.

The deportation has drawn attention to the growing tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela, as well as the broader implications of using wartime laws in peacetime. The list of deportees, which includes over 200 names, has been widely circulated, fueling discussions about immigration policies and international relations.
