The men who could be sent to El Salvador next

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Prieto was on the phone with Rojas, his partner, that evening when he learned that ICE wanted to talk to him.
55% : One of Cárdenas' tattoos is of a pocket watch, which ICE has claimed can be evidence of TdA membership.
54% : Unless they are removed under the Act, they will have a chance to make a case before an immigration judge to be allowed to remain in the United States.
52% : "I have extensive experience studying street and prison gangs," Steven Dudley, the co-director of InSight Crime, a media organization and think-tank that researches organized crime in the Americas, wrote in a March court declaration.
50% : "[Viloria-Aviles] filed his motion for a temporary restraining order when he was moved to Bluebonnet, where ICE was gathering Venezuelans, clearly for the purpose of expelling them," Kagan wrote in an email.
50% : Referring to the entrance to their cell block, he said, "Every time that door opens, we don't know if it's ICE coming for us again."
49% : Thirty-three-year-old Ender Riobueno, who fled anti-LGBTQ+ violence in Venezuela before being arrested by ICE in February, said he struggles with depression and suffers from seizures due to a serious medical condition.
49% : Before ICE picked him up, Riobueno had settled in Chicago, where he worked at a car wash for a while and took odd jobs to help support his mother back home.
48% : (Díaz-Luces also has tattoos of a rose and of stars on his shoulders, which ICE has argued can be evidence of TdA membership despite experts rejecting the idea that tattoos are reliable TdA identifiers.)
45% : Prieto had been arrested by ICE outside his home earlier that morning.
45% : "I think something's going on, something sketchy." As Collins and other attorneys would later learn, on the evening of April 17, ICE started providing notice to Venezuelans at the detention center that they were subject to removal under the Alien Enemies Act.
44% : " In the days after taking Cárdenas and Prieto into custody, ICE posted photos of the men on social media, accusing both of being Tren de Aragua members.
44% : Some of the Venezuelans at Bluebonnet may not even have had the 12 hours that ICE said it provides people to express an intent to file a habeas petition.
44% : A few days earlier, according to a declaration Collins submitted in court, ICE had called one of them for a medical checkup, but instead proceeded to question him about alleged connections to TdA.
42% : The rushed process at Bluebonnet made it nearly impossible for the Venezuelans ICE tried to remove to file a habeas petition in time, particularly since many -- if not most -- of them do not have lawyers.
42% : Cárdenas said ICE did not even tell detainees that there is such a thing as a habeas process in the United States -- much less that the Supreme Court recently determined that is the legal instrument they must use to challenge their removal under the Alien Enemies Act.
41% : Relatives of the men Mother Jones spoke with have also maintained that the accusations against them are baseless, sharing official documents showing they have no criminal histories in Venezuela, annotations that explain the innocuous meanings of tattoos that ICE appears to be using as evidence of gang membership, and, in one case, a sworn declaration from a family member living in the United States.
39% : Their experiences raise significant doubts about the Trump administration's compliance with legal requirements.
38% : Andru Dávila Santiago, who was picked up by ICE in Texas in late March after dropping his stepson off at school, now worries about his partner.
37% : The day before, ICE had handed Prieto and about 60 other Venezuelan men held at Bluebonnet a one-page document -- written only in English -- stating they were going to be removed from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act as members of Tren de Aragua (TdA).
36% : In several cases, the men detained told us they were abruptly moved to the Texas facility in transfers that seem to be attempts to circumvent court orders blocking Alien Enemies Act removals in other jurisdictions across the country.
34% : "I haven't signed anything," he told her, "but the paper I have in my hands says they're going to deport me because I'm an alien enemy who is part of Tren de Aragua.
34% : Díaz-Luces, who ICE arrested in North Carolina last month and accused on social media of being a TdA member without evidence, was also on the verge of being removed.
