Though the Trump administration often refers to the AEA removals as deportations, they do not resemble the codified judicial process of deportation.

Rather than deporting the men removed under the AEA back to their country of origin, the Trump administration sent them to a country foreign to them to serve out an indefinite sentence without ever convicting them of a crime or giving them an opportunity to challenge their removal or continued confinement.

...

Multiple investigations have found that a majority of those removed by the Trump administration do not have criminal records in the U.S., Venezuela or El Salvador and never violated U.S. immigration laws.

...

... the U.S. has paid El Salvador around $6 million to imprison the men for at least a year.

...

El Salvador said that the U.S. had exclusive responsibility over the men.

“In this context, the jurisdiction and legal responsibility for these persons lie exclusively with the competent foreign authorities, by virtue of international agreements signed and in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and international cooperation in criminal matters,” it said.
