The Application
Barrios, a Venezuelan national with an existing removal order to Venezuela, was deported to CECOT in El Salvador instead, raising questions about whether DHS exceeded its removal authority by removing him to a third country rather than executing the removal order to his home country.
The Conclusion
The court decided the case on the merits regarding the lawfulness of DHS's removal of Barrios to El Salvador and the viability of his habeas corpus petition for removal to Venezuela.
