Trump admin unveils new legal standard: 'We have no proof, which actually proves our case'

Summary

The Trump administration deported alleged gang members to an El Salvador labor camp despite lacking evidence of criminality, arguing that the absence of proof actually indicates danger.

ICE Field Officer Robert Cerna claimed that the lack of criminal records proves the risk posed by suspects.

Critics condemned the move as a violation of due process and legal standards, questioning why non-convicted migrants were targeted instead of convicted gang members.

Legal experts warned that justifying imprisonment without evidence sets a dangerous precedent.
