Immigration Judges Toss Over a Dozen Cases Involving Men Expelled to Salvadoran Prison

HeadlineMay 29, 2025

NBC News is reporting immigration judges have moved to dismiss at least 14 cases involving immigrants who were expelled without due process to an El Salvador mega-prison under the Alien Enemies Act, despite ongoing legal challenges over Trump’s invocation of the 1798 wartime law. One of the recently dismissed asylum cases involves Andry Hernández Romero, a gay makeup artist from Venezuela, who was apparently expelled because he had tattoos.
