U.S. Deportation Policy Targets Venezuelans Under Alien Enemies Act

Recent reports have shed light on the U.S. government's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans, a move that has sparked controversy and concern among advocates. According to NPR, a flawed checklist is being used by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to identify Venezuelans for deportation, raising questions about the fairness and accuracy of the process.

The New York Times reports that the U.S. is specifically targeting members of the Tren de Aragua gang, a notorious Venezuelan criminal organization, as part of its deportation efforts. Documents obtained by ABC News reveal that the Trump administration has identified several Venezuelan gang members, further fueling the debate over the use of the Alien Enemies Act.

In a surprising twist, Bloomberg reports that Michael Jordan jerseys are being used as a branding tool to identify Venezuelans as alien enemies, adding a bizarre element to an already contentious issue. Advocates argue that the use of such a checklist and the targeting of specific groups is not only flawed but also potentially discriminatory.
