The move could potentially lead to the deportations of some 350,000 Venezuelans while litigation continues in the lower courts.

The memo weakens President Trump's argument for invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants.

Bukele proposed carrying out a prisoner swap with Venezuela on Sunday, suggesting he would exchange Venezuelan deportees from the United States for what he called "political prisoners" in Venezuela.

A federal judge on Monday paused plans by the Trump administration to end temporary legal protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans, a week before they were scheduled to expire.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has called for the return of the Venezuelan migrants sent by the U.S. to El Salvador, where President Nayib Bukele said they were transferred to a mega-prison.

The Department of Homeland Security's new policy, revoking legal protections for hundreds of thousands, impacts people who are already in the U.S. and who came under a humanitarian parole program.

The Trump administration has invoked a 227-year-old law, the Alien Enemies Act, to target Tren de Aragua, a gang with its roots in the prisons of Venezuela. Who are they and how wide is their reach?

It was not clear if the deportations happened before a D.C. federal judge ordered the administration to stop using wartime powers to deport anyone immediately, and turn around any planes in the air.

Trump's decision to remove temporary protected status means more than 500,000 Venezuelans may be forced to leave the United States. Venezuelan Americans, many of whom voted for Trump, call it a betrayal.

The departure of Edmundo González, who Venezuela’s opposition and several foreign governments consider the legitimate winner of July’s presidential race, was announced by Venezuela's vice president.
