'If you slash a price by only 100%, doesn't that bring it down to $0? Forget 400% or more. That's mathematically impossible,' writes an L.A. Times reader.

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
J.G.G., et al.,
Plaintiffs,
LIYANARA SÁNCHEZ, as next friend on behalf of FRENGEL REYES MOTA, et al.,
Petitioners-Plaintiffs,
V.
DONALD J. TRUMP, et al.,
Respondents-Defendants.
Civil Action No. 25-766 (JEB)
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Nine months ago, six Venezuelan men were hustled out of a detention center in Texas,
loaded onto planes, and shipped to an infamous mega-prison in El Salvador with no explanation
and no opportunity to challenge the reason for their hasty removal. On behalf of themselves and
a putative class of similarly situated detainees, they have turned to the courts to vindicate their
constitutional right to due process. These efforts have precipitated multiple trips up and down
the assorted tiers of the federal judiciary, complicated by their subsequent transfer to and release
in their native Venezuela. After the D.C. Circuit vacated this Court's prior preliminary
injunction, Plaintiffs have again moved for an order enjoining the Government to facilitate their return to the United States to pursue their individual habeas claims. The parties then agreed to
consolidate this Motion into Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment.

The Court ultimately finds that the United States maintained constructive custody over
Plaintiffs while they were imprisoned in El Salvador, thus affording the Court habeas jurisdiction

Case 1:25-cv-00766-JEB Document 215 Filed 12/22/25 Page 2 of 43
over this action. In addition, it will certify a class of Plaintiffs who were removed on March 15
and seek to enforce their right to a hearing. On the merits, the Court concludes that this class
was denied their due-process rights and will thus require the Government to facilitate their ability
to obtain such hearing. Our law requires no less.

ORDER
For the reasons stated in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion, the Court ORDERS
that:
1. Plaintiffs' [177] Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED;
2. Plaintiffs' [178] Motion for Class Certification is GRANTED;
3. Defendants' [182] Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED; and
4. The Government shall submit its proposal either to facilitate the return
of Plaintiffs to the United States or to otherwise provide them with
hearings that satisfy the requirements of due process by January 5,
2026.

One of the main tactics of the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration in recent months has been detaining people at appointments during their asylum or visa proceedings and, in some cases, deporting them.
