"Donald Trump’s administration admits that “many” of the dozens of Venezuelan men deported to El Salvador’s notorious mega prison have no criminal record whatsoever.
But a lack of a criminal record “does not indicate they pose a limited threat,” according to a sworn statement from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official submitted in court filings.
A “lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose,” according to ICE official Robert Cerna.
“It demonstrates that they are terrorists with regard to whom we lack a complete profile,” he wrote.
The extraordinary statement was included in court filings from the Trump administration calling on a judge to reverse his order that temporarily blocks deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, a move that government lawyers called “an affront to the President’s broad constitutional and statutory authority to protect the United States from dangerous aliens who pose grave threats to the American people.”"

Extraordinary. Do they know if they're immigrants?
