Hi,

While meeting with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele this week, Trump
said he supports deporting U.S. citizens.^1 He also made clear that he had
no plans to bring home a Maryland man that his administration mistakenly
sent to a horrific El Salvador mega-prison along with nearly 300 other
people.^2

The federal government is planning to deny more people due process and
send them to El Salvador and other countries where they can’t access
courts to challenge their imprisonment.^3 Trump’s actions are a serious
breach of human rights, our system of laws, and the foundations of our
democracy. Congress must demand an end to these horrific renditions.

mega-prison!

Last week, the Supreme Court lifted lower federal court orders that barred
the Trump admin from sending nearly 300 people to El Salvador as part of a
March 15 executive order.

In a pointed dissent, Justice Sonia Sotomayor called the SCOTUS decision
“indefensible.” She warned that non-citizens and citizens, “could be taken
off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with
no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before
removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes, but this Nation’s
system of laws is designed to prevent, not enable, their rise.”^4

Sotomayor’s warnings were confirmed by Trump this week. All while Trump’s
ICE Director says he wants deportations to run like “Amazon Prime for
human beings.”^5 This is a crisis moment for our country and our
democracy.

renditions to foreign prisons before it’s too late.
