The Lyin' Kings get caught up in an El Salvador lie

 

Headline:  The National Memo, 7/10/2025

Ailia Zehra reports:

Lawyers representing the Venezuelan detainees presented a document Monday, showing that El Salvador had informed the UN it does not hold legal authority over the men. 

In March, following Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, these Venezuelan nationals were removed from the United States without due process and placed in El Salvador’s CECOT. The administration justified its action by maintaining that they are legally bound by Salvadoran authority. 

El Salvador’s notification to the UN, however, emphasizes that it does not currently possess jurisdiction over the detainees. 

This disclosure adds significant weight to the argument that the Venezuelan detainees — more than 200 men — remain under U.S. authority and protections, despite being physically located in El Salvador.
