In a move that has sparked controversy, the Trump administration has deported hundreds of individuals linked to a notorious Venezuelan gang, defying a temporary block imposed by a federal judge. The deportations have raised concerns about the administration's handling of immigration policies and its approach to tackling organised crime. The Venezuelan gang, known for its violent activities, has been a focus of US law enforcement efforts. Immigration lawyers and human rights groups have criticised the move, citing the need for due process and fair treatment of asylum seekers. The incident highlights the ongoing debate around US immigration policies and the use of deportation as a tool for law enforcement.
