Information received concerning recent deportations of Venezuelan and Salvadoran nationals from the United States to El Salvador, particularly those carried out under the Alien Enemies Act. We are concerned that the deportations and related detentions were not consistent with international human rights law, including the prohibitions on unlawful or arbitrary expulsion, freedom from arbitrary detention, the right to due process in the expulsion of migrants and asylum seekers, the right to family life and the rights of children, the obligation of non-refoulement, the prohibition on enforced disappearance, and the requirement of humane conditions of detention . We are also concerned about the designation of organized criminal groups such as the Tren de Aragua as terrorist organizations, and threats to the independence and authority of U.S. judges, and to the professional work of immigration lawyers, in cases where the deportation measures are being challenged. We are extremely alarmed by the imminent prospect of further deportations, in violation of international law. We urge your Excellency’s Government to review these laws, policies and practice to ensure that any measure taken complies with international human rights law and standards.
