在几份宣誓声明中，律师、亲属和国土安全部的一名前官员对特朗普政府的驱逐出境上周末委内瑞拉移民到萨尔瓦多一个臭名昭著的监狱。
周三晚间提交的声明详细说明了一些移民是如何被拘留的，以及他们在被送往萨尔瓦多之前是如何被转移到德克萨斯州的拘留设施的。这些声明还声称，许多移民确实如此没有联系或者有任何犯罪记录。
美国移民和海关执法局的一名官员承认在本周早些时候的宣誓声明中，根据《外国敌人法案》被驱逐的“许多”非公民在美国没有犯罪记录。
当被美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)问及当局如何确定移民是否是帮派成员时，白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特(Karoline Leavitt)周三表示，特朗普政府“不会透露反恐行动的操作细节。”
安耶洛·何塞·萨尔比亚(Anyelo Jose Sarbia)的妹妹米歇尔·萨拉比亚·冈萨雷斯(Michelle Sarabia Gonzalez)据信在萨尔瓦多，她在一份宣誓声明中说，两个月前，作为庇护申请程序的一部分，她和她的哥哥去进行一次例行的冰上检查，官员不允许她的哥哥离开。
冈萨雷斯说:“警察问我，我哥哥是否属于一个帮派，还问我他手上有一个明显的纹身。”。"他左手上的纹身是一朵以金钱为花瓣的玫瑰."Gonzalez在她的声明中说，她的兄弟不属于Tren de Aragua。
在几份声明中，律师描述了他们的委托人如何被送上驱逐出境的飞机，但由于在飞机起飞前签发了临时限制令而被驱逐。
律师斯蒂芬妮·金特罗(Stephanie Quintero)说，一名ICE特工告诉她的当事人，“你们都不知道自己有多幸运。你们都中了彩票，因为你们今天不会被驱逐出境。”
Quintero说，她的当事人和其他几名被拘留者被从飞机上带走，送回El Valle拘留中心。
一名律师还描述了当局如何在周末将他们从德克萨斯州的拘留中心带出来后，用巴士将他们带上飞机。
“他们从上到下都被铁链锁着——手腕、腰部、脚踝，铁链穿过他们的背部，所以他们几乎不能移动，”金特罗说。
金特罗说，其中一名被拘留者“由于中暑衰竭和脱水，几乎昏倒在公交车上，鼻子开始大量出血。”
“被拘留者通知了警卫，但他们没有为那个人提供医疗护理，”金特罗说。另一名移民律师的声明中也提到了这一事件。
被认为在萨尔瓦多的委内瑞拉移民E.V .的代理律师奥斯汀·蒂埃里(Austin Thierry)表示，他的当事人没有接到驱逐令，移民法官将于6月举行听证会。
蒂埃里说，E.V .有一个小儿子是美国公民。据Thierry说，在ICE官员出现在E.V .家寻找另一个人之后，他被拘留。
蒂埃里说:“自从E.V .被拘留以来，他的伴侣和年幼的儿子一直在努力支付他们的费用和维持住房。”
蒂埃里说，他认为他的客户的皇冠纹身“可能是为什么ICE错误地指控他是帮派成员。”
蒂埃里说:“这顶王冠与特伦·德·阿拉瓜没有关系，而是向他祖母致敬，她的死亡日期出现在王冠的底部。”
来自委内瑞拉的职业足球运动员杰斯·雷耶斯·巴里奥斯(Jerce Reyes Barrios)在一次示威活动后抗议马杜罗政权，并被拘留和遭受酷刑，他的代理律师莱恩特·托宾(Linette Tobin)说，他的当事人是被诬告有帮派背景的纹身。
托宾说:“他选择这个纹身是因为它与他最喜欢的足球队皇家马德里的标志相似。”
前DHS官员Deborah Fleischaker驳回了ICE官员本周早些时候提交的一份声明，该声明声称，被指控的帮派成员被驱逐出境，因为ICE不准备拘留TdA成员。
“美国的ICE拘留设施准备拘留任何非公民，不管他们的安全风险水平如何，”Fleischaker在她的宣誓声明中说。"这包括有暴力犯罪历史的人，以及帮派和外国恐怖组织的成员."
这位前DHS官员表示，ICE拘留设施能够管理所有级别的被拘留者，并表示ICE可以“在驱逐程序期间”安全地拘留这些人
美国公民自由联盟(American Civil Liberties Union)的律师在一份文件中表示，被送往萨尔瓦多的移民“面临着恶劣的监狱条件，并因监狱中的系统性虐待而危及生命。”
美国公民自由联盟律师补充说,《外国敌人法》没有为个人提供质疑他们是TdA成员的程序，也没有为个人提供寻求司法审查的“法定宽限期”。
在特朗普援引《外国敌人法》后，律师们表示，“即将进行移民诉讼的人开始在夜间被从全国各地的ICE拘留设施转移，并且不允许出现在他们的诉讼中，许多人在那里寻求庇护，”律师们说。
Lawyers say some deported by Trump administration weren't gang members, were targeted for tattoos
In several sworn declarations, attorneys, relatives and a former official for the Department of Homeland Security have pushed back on the Trump administration'sdeportationlast weekend of Venezuelan migrants to a notorious prison in El Salvador.
The declarations, which were filed overnight Wednesday, detail how some of the migrants were detained and how they were transferred to detention facilities in Texas before being sent to El Salvador. The declarations also allege that many of the migrants donot have tiesto the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua or have any criminal records.
An official with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcementacknowledgedin a sworn declaration earlier this week that "many" of the noncitizens deported under the Alien Enemies Act did not have criminal records in the United States.
When asked by ABC News about how authorities are determining if migrants are gang members, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday that the Trump administration is "not going to reveal operational details about a counterterrorism operation."
Michelle Sarabia Gonzalez, the sister of Anyelo Jose Sarbia, who is believed to be in El Salvador, said in a sworn declaration that when she and her brother went to a routine ICE check-in two months ago as part of the asylum application process, officials did not allow her brother to leave.
"The officers asked me whether my brother belonged to a gang and about a tattoo that is visible on his hand," Gonzalez said. "The tattoo on his left hand is of a rose with money as petals." Gonzalez said in her declaration that her brother is not affiliated with Tren de Aragua.
In several declarations, attorneys described how their clients were placed on a plane for deportation but were removed because a Temporary Restraining Order was issued before the plane departed.
Attorney Stephanie Quintero said her client was told by an ICE agent, "You all do not know how lucky you are. You all hit the lottery because you are not getting deported today."
Quintero said her client and several other detainees were removed from the plane and sent back to El Valle Detention Center.
Attorney also described how authorities brought them by bus to the plane after taking them out of detention centers in Texas over the weekend.
"They were chained from top to bottom -- wrists, waist, ankles, chains which came up through their backs so they could barely move," said Quintero.
One of the detainees, Quintero said, almost passed out on the bus "from heat exhaustion and dehydration and started bleeding profusely from his nose."
"The detainees notified the guards, but they did not provide that person with medical attention," Quintero said. The incident was also mentioned in a declaration from another immigration attorney.
Austin Thierry, an attorney who represents a Venezuelan migrant named E.V. who is believed to be in El Salvador, said his client did not have removal orders and has a hearing scheduled before an immigration judge in June.
Thierry said E.V. has an infant son who is a U.S. citizen. According to Thierry, E.V. was detained after ICE officials showed up to his house looking for another individual.
"Since E.V.'s detention, his partner and infant son have struggled to meet their expenses and maintain housing," Thierry said.
Thierry said he believes his client's crown tattoo "may be why ICE falsely accused him of gang membership."
"This crown is not related to Tren de Aragua, but rather a tribute to his grandmother whose date of death appears at the base of the crown," Thierry said.
Attorney Linette Tobin, who represents Jerce Reyes Barrios, a professional soccer player from Venezuela who protested the Maduro regime and was detained and tortured after one of the demonstrations, said his client wasfalsely accusedof having a gang-affiliated tattoo.
"He chose this tattoo because it is similar to the logo for his favorite soccer team Real Madrid," said Tobin.
Deborah Fleischaker, a former DHS official, pushed back on a declaration filed earlier this week by an ICE official who claimed that the alleged gang members were deported because ICE is not prepared to detain members of TdA.
"ICE detention facilities in the United States are prepared to detain any noncitizen, regardless of their security risk level," said Fleischaker in her sworn declaration. "This includes people with violent criminal histories, as well as members of gangs and Foreign Terrorist Organizations."
The former DHS official said ICE detention facilities are able to manage all levels of detainees and said that ICE could have detained the individuals safely "for the duration of their removal proceedings."
Attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union said in a filing that the migrants who were sent to El Salvador "face prison conditions that have been deemed harsh and life threatening due to systemic abuse in the prison."
The ACLU attorneys added that the Alien Enemies Act does not provide a process for individuals to contest that they are members of the TdA or provide individuals with a "statutory grace period" to seek judicial review.
After Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act, lawyers said, "people with upcoming immigration proceedings started being moved overnight from ICE detention facilities around the country and not allowed to appear at their proceedings, where many were seeking asylum," the lawyers said.
