Hundreds have been illegally deported to El Salvador. Help bring them home.


ACLU Supporter, big news: A judge has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in contempt for deporting hundreds to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act in violation of court orders. He has once again ordered the government to facilitate these individuals' return.

This is a step towards justice – but it can't repair the harm already done. President Trump has deported hundreds of Venezuelan immigrants to a prison notorious for torture, ignoring orders to stop the planes and clear demands to return these people to their home.

No one should be deported to a prison in another country without due process. And no one should be deported to face torture. That's why we're continuing to challenge these illegal deportations in court. It's also why we're calling on Congress to unite and demand our neighbors be returned home – and not just the men we're representing in court, but the others who've been swept up by President Trump's cruel policies as well, including Kilmar Ábrego García.

And you can join us: Tell Congress to demand the immediate return of everyone wrongfully deported to El Salvador – and that the White House halt all further deportations to, or deals with, Salvadoran prisons. <[link removed]>

Last month, Kilmar Ábrego García, a Maryland husband and father, was snatched from his home in what officials later admitted was an administrative error.

He's since been sent alongside hundreds of others to CECOT – a mega-prison in El Salvador notorious for torture and cruel treatment. His removal has been found illegal – yet even after the Supreme Court ordered the White House to facilitate the return of Mr. García, the Trump administration has refused.

To summarize: The Trump administration violated our Constitution by deporting hundreds of people – some "erroneously" included – with no due process. It has abandoned them to potential torture in Salvadoran prisons, defying multiple court orders in the process.

This is beyond unacceptable – it's a horrifyingly cruel abuse of power that will be a moral stain on our nation for centuries to come. Tell Congress: Demand that everyone deported to El Salvador prisons be brought home. <[link removed]>

Illegally disappearing people from their homes, holding them incommunicado and denying them due process, and cutting deals with foreign torture prisons are all hallmarks of a dictatorship.

We can't allow this to continue. We'll keep you updated as our fight for freedom and an end to President Trump's mass deportations proceeds in court.
