Now, the judge has given the government until April 23 to explain either why it disobeyed the order or to identify the officials responsible for ignoring it.

Immigrants must be informed why they are being deported and given a fair chance to defend themselves \u2014 particularly if they\u2019re accused of gang involvement or national security concerns. In this case, the person was reportedly linked to MS-13, but the only proof was a document claiming he was from New York \u2014 a place he never lived.<\/p>\n<p>The bigger concern is what happens when individuals are sent to a third country like El Salvador, especially when there are claims they belong to gangs.

Ya est\u00e1 con nosotros Marta Arias, es abogada de inmigraci\u00f3n. \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1, abogada? Muy buenos d\u00edas.<\/p>\n<p>Abogada Martha Arias:<br \/>\nReina, un saludo para usted, toda su audiencia y, obviamente, todo su equipo de trabajo.<\/p>\n<p>Host:<br \/>\nMuchas gracias. La verdad es que esto nos tiene en expectativa porque ha sido un &#8220;tira y afloje&#8221;, como decimos nosotros, \u00bfno?, el caso de la expulsi\u00f3n de venezolanos a El Salvador. \u00bfEn qu\u00e9 puede desencadenar este inicio de proceso contra el gobierno de Trump para declararlo en desacato? \u00bfQu\u00e9 puede estar ocurriendo?<\/p>\n<p>Abogada Martha Arias:<br \/>\nBueno, lo que puede ocurrir es que el juez dio hasta el 23 de abril, hasta este mes, para que el gobierno escoja una de dos opciones.<br \/>\nUna opci\u00f3n es explicar por qu\u00e9 incumpli\u00f3 la orden de no deportar a esta persona o de no enviarla a El Salvador, y qu\u00e9 pasos se han dado o se est\u00e1n dando para honrar esa orden y retornar a esa persona a los Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n<p>La segunda opci\u00f3n es que provea los nombres de los funcionarios del gobierno que tuvieron a su cargo cumplir la orden y no lo hicieron.<br \/>\nEn este caso, si cualquiera de las opciones que se escojan demuestra que hubo una intenci\u00f3n deliberada de no cumplir con la orden del juez, esta orden de desacato puede conllevar sanciones penales y c\u00e1rcel para los funcionarios que no la ejecutaron, es decir, que deliberadamente la hubieran desacatado.<\/p>\n<p>Host:<br \/>\nAbogada, muy buenos d\u00edas, pero este proceso puede tardar mucho tiempo. Es decir, \u00bfpodemos pasar meses esperando a que haya una resoluci\u00f3n?<\/p>\n<p>Abogada Martha Arias:<br \/>\nS\u00ed, se pueden pasar varios meses porque de inicio ya tenemos hasta el 23 de abril para que el gobierno escoja una de estas opciones que mencion\u00e9. Despu\u00e9s de eso, el juez va a revisar lo presentado y puede darle al gobierno la oportunidad de evitar ese proceso criminal de desacato. Es decir, puede haber una mediaci\u00f3n entre las partes para determinar qu\u00e9 pas\u00f3 y evitar llegar al proceso penal.<\/p>\n<p>Si se llega al proceso penal \u2014y aclaro que yo no soy abogada criminalista\u2014, pero tengo entendido que seguir\u00e1 todas las reglas de un proceso penal normal, lo cual puede tomar meses o incluso a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n<p>Host:<br \/>\nAhora, esta presi\u00f3n que se est\u00e1 generando por el inicio de este proceso contra el gobierno de Trump, \u00bfqu\u00e9 nos dice? \u00bfEl gobierno de Donald Trump no puede expulsar ahora a venezolanos o a personas de nacionalidades espec\u00edficas a El Salvador? \u00bfQu\u00e9 va a pasar con ese plan del expresidente, quien recientemente esta semana convers\u00f3 con Nayib Bukele en la Casa Blanca? \u00bfYa no va a poder deportar?<\/p>\n<p>Abogada Martha Arias:<br \/>\nNo, \u00e9l s\u00ed va a poder continuar deportando a las personas bajo la ley de enemigos extranjeros.<\/p>\n<p>Le doy un recordatorio de lo que pas\u00f3: cuando esta persona fue enviada a El Salvador, el juez hab\u00eda emitido una orden de no enviarlo. El gobierno lo deport\u00f3 igual, y luego present\u00f3 un recurso ante otra corte para que desestimara esa orden.<\/p>\n<p>Esa segunda corte confirm\u00f3 la orden del primer juez, y el gobierno continu\u00f3 hasta llegar a la Corte Suprema. La Corte Suprema emiti\u00f3 una decisi\u00f3n donde dijo que la ley de enemigos extranjeros s\u00ed se puede usar para deportar inmigrantes a El Salvador en este caso, pero \u2014y este es el punto m\u00e1s importante\u2014 el gobierno debe respetar el debido proceso.<\/p>\n<p>Eso implica que debe informar a la persona que est\u00e1 siendo deportada bajo esa ley, y darle oportunidad de defensa. Por ejemplo, si la persona es acusada de pertenecer a una pandilla, un juez de inmigraci\u00f3n debe darle las pruebas que lo justifiquen. En este caso, simplemente se aleg\u00f3 que pertenec\u00eda a una pandilla, lo detuvieron y lo deportaron.<\/p>\n<p>A partir de ahora, cuando una persona vaya a ser enviada a la corte bajo esa ley, el documento debe indicar claramente que es bajo la ley de enemigos extranjeros, para que los jueces est\u00e9n conscientes y garanticen el debido proceso.<\/p>\n<p>Host:<br \/>\nAhora, abogada, cuando una persona es deportada a El Salvador, \u00bfqu\u00e9 opciones tiene de defensa? \u00bfY qui\u00e9n tiene la custodia de esas personas expulsadas a El Salvador?<\/p>\n<p>Abogada Martha Arias:<br \/>\nS\u00ed, esa es la parte que a m\u00ed me preocupa. Me preocupa porque, si se deportan salvadore\u00f1os, est\u00e1n en su pa\u00eds y enfrentar\u00e1n su sistema judicial. Pero si la persona es de un tercer pa\u00eds y es acusada de pertenecer a una entidad terrorista o pandilla, es m\u00e1s complicado desde el punto de vista legal. Por ejemplo, la persona que fue deportada en este caso. El gobierno estadounidense deb\u00eda probar con evidencia que pertenec\u00eda a la pandilla. Lo que he le\u00eddo indica que solo hab\u00eda un documento del gobierno que dec\u00eda que pertenec\u00eda a la MS-13 de Nueva York, pero el documento tambi\u00e9n indica que esa persona nunca hab\u00eda vivido en Nueva York.<\/p>\n<p>Entonces, hay poca evidencia o evidencia d\u00e9bil sobre su pertenencia a una pandilla. Ahora lo deportan con esa escasa evidencia y sin debido proceso.<br \/>\nLlega a El Salvador, y el gobierno salvadore\u00f1o dice que tiene evidencias de que pertenece a una pandilla. Pero sabemos que en Latinoam\u00e9rica muchas veces se &#8220;crea&#8221; evidencia, como dicen, &#8220;el papel lo aguanta todo&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Entonces, si all\u00e1 le ponen cargos criminales, primero va a tener que enfrentar a la justicia de El Salvador antes de cualquier posibilidad de regresar a los Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n<p>Host:<br \/>\nTengo que despedirla. Es all\u00ed donde est\u00e1 la gran pregunta. Gracias, abogada, por estar con nosotros esta ma\u00f1ana.<\/p>\n<p>Abogada Martha Arias:<br \/>\nGracias a ustedes.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_100 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_separator_no_text vc_sep_color_grey\" ><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_l\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_r\"><span class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\t\t<div id=\"wd-68011da6de142\" class=\"wd-text-block wd-wpb reset-last-child wd-rs-68011da6de142 text-left\">\n\t\t\t<p><strong>ENGLISH TRANSCRIPT:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Host:<br \/>\nAlright, at this time we&#8217;re talking about the judge who has begun proceedings against the Trump administration to declare it in contempt after disobeying an order not to expel Venezuelans to El Salvador. With us now is Martha Arias, an immigration attorney. How are you, attorney? Good morning.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney Martha Arias:<br \/>\nReina, greetings to you, your audience, and of course your entire team.<\/p>\n<p>Host:<br \/>\nThank you very much. The truth is this has us on alert because it&#8217;s been a back and forth, as we say, right? The case of the expulsion of Venezuelans to El Salvador. What could come of this process being initiated to declare the Trump administration in contempt? What could be happening?<\/p>\n<p>Attorney Martha Arias:<br \/>\nWell, what could happen is that the judge gave a deadline of April 23, this month, for the government to choose one of two options.<\/p>\n<p>One option is to explain why it disobeyed the order not to deport this person or not to send them to El Salvador, and what steps have been taken or are being taken to honor that order and return that person to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The second option is to provide the names of the government officials who were responsible for carrying out the order and did not do so. In this case, if either of the chosen options shows that there was a deliberate intent not to comply with the judge\u2019s order, the contempt order can result in criminal sanctions and jail time for the government officials who failed to carry it out \u2014 that is, who deliberately disobeyed it.<\/p>\n<p>Host:<br \/>\nAttorney, good morning, but could this process take a long time? That is, could we go months waiting for a resolution?<\/p>\n<p>Attorney Martha Arias:<br \/>\nYes, it could take several months because initially, the government has until April 23 to choose one of the options I mentioned. After that, the judge will review what was presented and may give the government an opportunity to avoid that criminal contempt process. That is, there could be a mediation between the parties to determine what happened and perhaps avoid going to a criminal proceeding.<\/p>\n<p>If it does go to a criminal proceeding \u2014 and I clarify that I am not a criminal attorney \u2014 but I understand that it will follow all the rules of a normal criminal process, which can take months or even years.<\/p>\n<p>Host:<br \/>\nNow, this pressure that is being generated by the beginning of this process against the Trump administration, what does it tell us? That the Trump government cannot now expel Venezuelans or people of specific nationalities to El Salvador? What will happen to Trump\u2019s plan, especially considering he met with Nayib Bukele at the White House just this week? Will he no longer be able to deport?<\/p>\n<p>Attorney Martha Arias:<br \/>\nNo, he can still continue deporting people under the Enemy Alien Act.<\/p>\n<p>Let me give you a reminder of what happened: when this person was sent to El Salvador, the judge had issued an order not to send him. The government deported him anyway and then filed an appeal with another court to dismiss that judge\u2019s order.<\/p>\n<p>That second court confirmed the first judge\u2019s order, and the government continued on to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court issued a decision saying that the Enemy Alien Act can be used to deport immigrants to El Salvador in this case, but \u2014 and this is the most important part \u2014 the government must provide due process.<\/p>\n<p>That means informing the person that they are being deported under the Enemy Alien Act and giving them a chance to defend themselves.<br \/>\nFor example, if someone is accused of belonging to a gang and is going to be deported for that reason, an immigration judge must provide the evidence and proof supporting the accusation.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, that didn\u2019t happen. They simply said this person belonged to a gang, detained him, and deported him. So now, when someone is sent to immigration court under that law, the document that sends them must state \u201cEnemy Alien Act\u201d very clearly so that judges are aware and can ensure due process is followed.<\/p>\n<p>Host:<br \/>\nNow attorney, when someone is deported to El Salvador, what defense options do they have? And who has custody of those expelled to El Salvador?<\/p>\n<p>Attorney Martha Arias:<br \/>\nYes, that\u2019s the part that concerns me. It concerns me because if Salvadoran nationals are deported, well, they are going to their own country and will have to face the laws of their country.<\/p>\n<p>But if the person is from a third country and is accused of belonging to a terrorist group or gang, I think it\u2019s very complicated legally.<br \/>\nFor example, the person currently over there. First, the U.S. government had to prove with evidence that he belonged to a gang. From what I\u2019ve read, there was only one government document saying he belonged to the MS-13 gang from New York, and that same document stated he had never lived in New York.<br \/>\nSo we\u2019re starting with very little or weak evidence of his gang affiliation.<\/p>\n<p>Now they deport him with that little evidence, without due process. He arrives in El Salvador, and the Salvadoran government claims they have evidence that he belongs to a gang. But we all know that in Latin America, evidence \u2014 as we say \u2014 \u201cpaper can take anything.\u201d People fabricate evidence. So now, if this person is going to be charged with criminal offenses in El Salvador, I imagine he will have to face the Salvadoran justice system before he can ever return to the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Host:<br \/>\nWe have to say goodbye. That\u2019s where the big question lies.
