NEW YORK (Reuters) -Venezuelans deported to El Salvador under an 18th century wartime law must be given the chance to challenge their detentions, and the Trump administration must facilitate their legal challenges, a U.S. judge ruled on Wednesday.
In a written ruling, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg gave the Trump administration one week to detail how it would facilitate the deportees’ filing of legal challenges.
The ruling did not expressly order the Trump administration to bring the hundreds of Venezuelans currently being held in a mega-prison in El Salvador back to the United States.
