In recent weeks, the Trump administration has deported hundreds
of Venezuelan migrants by quickly labeling them as gang members
and foreign enemies, and boarding them on planes to El Salvador.
It’s sidestepping their rights to a court hearing where anyone
might be able to scrutinize the claims against them.

As a result, very little has been known about who these men are,
or how they were targeted by immigration officials. Until now.

Julie Turkewitz, the Andes bureau chief for The New York Times,
explains who was actually on those planes, and discusses the
secretive process that led to their deportations.

Guest: Julie Turkewitz, the Andes bureau chief
for The New York Times, based in Bogotá, Colombia.
