Lawyers for several Venezuelan migrants detained at the detention center in Texas said they believed their clients were “the risk that will soon occur” to be deported to El Salvador under the Alien Enemy Law.
“The applicant already knows that officers at Bluebonnet have distributed notifications under the alien enemy law, in English, who appoint Venezuelan people to transfer under the AEA, and have told people that the transfer will soon occur and will happen tonight or tomorrow,” the lawyer said to the lawyer for submitting civil freedom on Thursday night.
The declaration of the lawyer was submitted for hours after a federal judge in Texas denied ACLU’s request for a temporary detention order, saying in Thursday afternoon that ACLU “failed to meet their burden to show the substantial threat of the injury that would soon occur and could not be repaired.”
The judge said that because the government had previously stated that the authorities would not erase the applicants during the case litigation, ACLU “did not make enough performance at this stage to convince the court that the government would violate its representatives for that effect.”
After several lawyers submitted a declaration that said that some of their clients were told by immigration and customs officers that they were being sent to El Salvador, ACLU submitted a new emergency application for temporary detention orders.
“Within a few hours after the court orders to Tro, the client of Brown’s lawyer, FGM, was approached by an ICE officer, accused of being a member of the de Aragua trend, and told to sign the letters in English,” said the lawyer for ACLU. “Ice told him the letters” came from the president, and that he would be deported even if he did not sign it. “
In a declaration, Michelle Brane, executive director of Together and Free, said that the sister of Luis Yender Mercado, who was detained at the Bluebonnet detention center in Texas, called his sister and informed that officers told a group of Venezuelan that they were sent to El Salvador.

Brane also associated the Tiktok video in a declaration that seemed to be a video call between family members and detained individuals who showed the photos he received by being accused of saying that he would be deleted.
In the video, the man said in Spanish, “We need help … they say we are enemies … members of the de Aragua trend. They say we will be deleted.”
