US Judge Orders Trump Administration to Allow Venezuelan Migrants to Challenge Deportations

A US federal judge issued a ruling on June 4, 2025, ordering the Trump administration to grant over 100 Venezuelan migrants, who were deported to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, the right to challenge their deportations. These migrants were unjustly accused of belonging to the "Tren de Aragua" gang. The judge, James Boasberg, stated that the migrants had been denied the opportunity to formally challenge their deportations and the accusations against them. "The government must provide these individuals with a pathway to present their claims," a legal expert commented. This ruling marks a significant development in the ongoing legal battle surrounding the treatment of Venezuelan migrants in the US and El Salvador. The judge's decision is a small victory for the migrants, offering a glimmer of hope for those who have been unjustly detained.
