The Trump administration sent three illegal immigrants back to their home country of Venezuela in response to a judge's decision blocking them from being sent to Guantánamo Bay as part of a continued crackdown on illegal immigration.
U.S. District Judge Kenneth J. Gonzales of New Mexico issued a memo Friday announcing the court had vacated a March 3 status conference for three Venezuelan migrants just five days after it blocked the Trump administration's efforts to transfer the migrants to Guantánamo Bay.
Since then, Gonzales said, respondents had filed a notice of removal "informing the court that all three petitioners were removed to Venezuela, their home country, on Feb. 10, 2025."
The Trump administration has vowed to deport millions of the more than 11 million people estimated to be living in the U.S. illegally, including deporting some illegal immigrants to the U.S. Naval Base in Guantánamo Bay.
Trump has claimed the individuals deported to Guantánamo are "highly dangerous criminal aliens."
But that notion has been sharply disputed by some immigration advocates.
Lawyers for the Venezuelan immigrants argued in a court filing last week that their clients "fit the profile" of individuals that they allege the Trump administration "has prioritized for detention in Guantánamo … i.e. Venezuelan men detained in the El Paso area with (false) charges of connections with the Tren de Aragua gang."

They probably would have been better off in Gitmo, but that’s what you get, I guess.
I wish he’d have sent them to El Salvador.
Give them special housing across the street from where the judge lives.
Yep that’s how you do it..there is really no purpose in sending these scumbags to Gitmo, just ship their butts back to their home countries and thats it
Congrats to the administration—on implementing Plan V.
Lol.
And a new stereo system
He can always send some to El Salvador - they’ll be begging to come back to Gitmo.
Well that’s just the way it goes judge…
Sounds like we got a Feral New Mehico “judges” looking out for some of his “cousins.” The boy needs to recuse himself.
The gents in question are free to apply for entry into the US legally and their request and paperwork will be dealt with in due time.
This is fun to watch.
I hope Trump and Co have a clever plan for these un constitutional acting judges because otherwise he is encouraging them by acceding to their idiotic orders.
ALL of these DEMOCRAT JUDGES need to be examined by DOGE!
Gitmo was/is just supposed to be a hold over prison...then off they go...wild blue yonder...lol
They’ve been saying eleven million since GW Bush was President.
I hope they get all the identifying information on them and making sure they can instantly be identified if they attempt to cross the border again.
"more than 11 million people estimated to be living in the U.S."
I'd say it was closer to 20 million back then. Now it's probably more like 40-50 million.
