A majority of Americans oppose deporting migrants who have not been convicted to El Salvador without due process, according to a new survey, as the Trump administration defends its deportation efforts amid broad scrutiny.<\/p>\n
Six in 10 respondents in a YouGov survey<\/a> released Wednesday said they did not support “deporting immigrants without criminal convictions to El Salvador to be imprisoned, without letting them challenge the deportation in court.\u201d That included 46 percent who “strongly” opposed such deportations.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, 26 percent of respondents said they were in favor of such deportations, and another 13 percent were unsure.<\/p>\n The Trump administration has recently<\/a> used the Alien Enemies Act and immigration authorities to send hundreds of migrants it has alleged are gang members to a Salvadoran prison.<\/p>\n But critics have called for outside oversight<\/a>, with civil liberty advocates warning the administration is rushing to deport individuals without offering full evidence to support allegations of gang affiliation.<\/p>\n The Trump administration on Monday acknowledged in a filing in court that it accidentally deported someone protected from removal, sending the man to the Salvadoran prison where they said they could not secure his return<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cAlthough ICE was aware of his protection from removal to El Salvador, Abrego Garcia was removed to El Salvador because of an administrative error,\u201d the Justice Department said in the court filing, using an abbreviation for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).<\/p>\n Meanwhile, 51 percent of respondents in the YouGov survey also said they did not back \u201cdeporting international students who participated in pro-Palestinian campus protests,\u201d while 31 percent said they did support such a move.<\/p>\n
