The immigration cases of Venezuelan migrants deported to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act have been dismissed, raising concerns about due process violations. Attorneys representing these migrants, some of whom had pending asylum applications, report cases being dismissed due to a lack of jurisdiction, despite efforts to keep them open. Advocates argue that the dismissals, instead of administrative closures, unfairly assume migrants won't return and prevent them from receiving due process. The Department of Homeland Security has not commented, while some attorneys are appealing the dismissals, citing violations of due process and concerns about the migrants' legal limbo in El Salvador.
