About the Episode
Nearly 300 Venezuelans are now in El Salvador after being deported from the U.S. without a hearing, despite a federal judge’s order blocking the move. The Trump administration says they are members of a notorious gang called Tren de Aragua and summarily deported them under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Katherine Yon Ebright, counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice, joins John Yang to discuss.
