Trump admin 'exposed as liars' after El Salvador makes major admission to United Nations


Recommended Posts

El Salvador has informed the United Nations that it holds no legal responsibility for the more than 200 Venezuelan men whom President Donald Trump ordered to be sent to its maximum-security Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) prison earlier this year — a claim that directly contradicts repeated assertions from the Trump administration.

 

Lawyers representing the Venezuelan detainees presented a document Monday, showing that El Salvador had informed the UN it does not hold legal authority over the men.

 

In March, following Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, these Venezuelan nationals were removed from the United States without due process and placed in El Salvador’s CECOT. The administration justified its action by maintaining that they are legally bound by Salvadoran authority.
