Man Plans To Sue Trump Administration For Sending Him To El Salvador Prison

WASHINGTON (AP) A migrant from Venezuela deported by the Trump administration to El Salvador has taken the first step toward suing the U.S. government, saying he was wrongly sent to a notorious prison in the Central American country where he was beaten by guards and kept from contacting his family or an attorney.
Neiyerver Adrián Leon Rengel, 27, has filed a claim for $1.3 million with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, his attorneys with Democracy Defenders Fund said Thursday. Rengel is among more than 250 migrants from Venezuela sent to El Salvador in March, out of the jurisdiction of U.S. courts, after President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 against members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
Immigration agents took Rengel into custody on March 13 in the parking lot of his apartment in Irving, Texas, wrongly claiming his tattoos reflected an affiliation with Tren de Aragua, according to his claim. He had entered the U.S. in 2023. He worked as a barber and was scheduled to appear before an immigration judge in 2028.
Homeland Security said in an email that Rengel was a confirmed associate of the Tren de Aragua gang though it did not specify how it reached that conclusion who had entered the country illegally. It called his claims a fake sob story.

(2,170 posts)Let's hope there are lots more of these filings. It will give the DOJ something better to do with their time defending such cases rather than hiding Epstein information.
This is a great time for lawyers. There's so much lawless activity to address.

(5,140 posts)The Thomas Court granted him absolute immunity for all "official" acts. So, whether that applies to acts by his administration, will have to go back to Thomas so he can rule for them again.

(5,140 posts)is perfectly happy to declare anything he does "official". Then they will declare anything a Democrat does as "not official".
They are no longer pretending to care about the law.
