Trump cannot ignore due process stop illegal deportations and imprisonment.

I am writing to express my deep concern over the recent deportations of Venezuelan migrants by the Trump administration, actions that have raised serious legal and ethical questions. On March 15, 2025, the administration deported 238 Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador, alleging affiliations with the Tren de Aragua gang. These deportations proceeded despite a federal judge’s order to halt such actions, raising significant concerns about adherence to the rule of law. The administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to justify these deportations. However, this act has historically been applied during declared wars against foreign nations, not against non-state actors during peacetime. Legal experts argue that its use in this context is unprecedented and may violate due process rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Furthermore, the administration’s decision to proceed with the deportations despite a federal judge’s order undermines the judiciary’s authority and sets a dangerous precedent for the separation of powers. Such actions erode the foundational checks and balances that uphold our democratic system. I urge you to take immediate action to: 1. Investigate the legality of these deportations and the administration’s disregard for judicial orders. 2. Hold accountable those responsible for potential violations of constitutional and international laws. 3. Ensure that future immigration enforcement actions comply with legal standards and respect due process rights. The integrity of our legal system and the protection of human rights depend on your leadership and commitment to uphold the rule of law.
