A 20-year-old Venezuelan man identified in court filings only as "Cristian" was unlawfully deported to El Salvador's CECOT prison under the Alien Enemies Act in violation of a court-approved settlement agreement overseen by U.S. District Judge Stephanie Gallagher. The Trump administration stonewalled Gallagher's order to facilitate his return for months before abruptly repatriating him to Venezuela, the country from which he had been seeking asylum. His lawyers subsequently lost contact with him, and Gallagher noted it was unclear whether he had chosen not to reach out or had become a victim of the violence he fled.
