Detainees at the Bluebonnet immigrant detention center in Texas have voiced fears of being deported to El Salvador. The men, who formed an SOS signal in the facility's yard, claim they are unjustly accused of gang affiliations under a wartime law.

The Supreme Court has temporarily halted their deportations, yet the detainees remain anxious about their fate. The Department of Homeland Security has not provided evidence for the gang-related accusations, raising human rights concerns and public scrutiny.

This involves complex legal dynamics, as many Venezuelans flee economic hardship in their home country. Families and advocacy groups call for transparency and humane treatment as the detainees await clarity on their legal status.
