A legal battle is brewing as a prominent law firm prepares to present a habeas corpus lawsuit at El Salvador's Supreme Court. The move comes in defense of 30 Venezuelan citizens who currently find themselves detained in one of the country's notorious 'mega-prisons.'

These individuals were among the 238 Venezuelans deported by the United States to El Salvador. The U.S. government alleged they were members of the Tren de Aragua gang, a claim that has prompted significant legal and social discourse.

The crux of the lawsuit lies in contesting the legality of their incarceration. It raises critical questions about the due process and international diplomatic relations concerning deportation and human rights.
