The mother of one of the Venezuelan migrants being held in El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison says that she has not been told what the charges are against her son.

President Trump has invoked a rarely used 1798 law that gives a president immense powers to arrest and deport noncitizens in a time of war, which he says exists in the form of a gang 'invasion.'

The Trump administration is preparing to send more immigrants with criminal records to El Salvador’s notorious mega prison on the heels of a Supreme Court order allowing the use for now of a sweeping wartime authority for deportations,

The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could continue to deport Venezuelan migrants using a wartime powers act for now, overturning a lower court that had put a temporary stop to the deportations.

A day after the U.S. Supreme Court lifted a temporary ban on President Donald Trump's use of a 1798 law to speed up deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members, civil rights groups brought a fresh challenge in a sign that legal battles over the Alien Enemies Act will continue.
