More than 200 Venezuelans accused of gang ties were deported to El Salvador last month under the centuries-old Alien Enemies Act invoked by President Donald Trump. Now, we're learning more about how immigration officials decided who to deport. In a federal lawsuit accusing Trump of unlawfully invoking the act, the ACLU presented a copy of a guide with instructions about how to determine whether someone is a member of the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang. The document includes a scorecard-type of checklist with questions across six categories such as "criminal conduct information," "self-admission" and "symbolism," which looks for things like hand gestures and tattoos. According to the guide, a score of eight or higher can mean a person qualifies as a "validated TDA member" and can be deported after consulting with a Department of Homeland Security supervisor or legal adviser.
