The American Association of Jurists (AAJ) denounced the application of the Foreign Enemy Act applied by the United States (USA) against Venezuelan migrants, who were illegally sent to a prison in El Salvador.

“The application of this aberrant and anachronistic Law, which is nothing more than the practical expression of the enemy's criminal law, a Nazi-Fascist principle that justified the persecution and extermination of millions of people during the 20th century and so far in the 21st century, seeks to criminalize, without due judicial and administrative process, thousands of Venezuelan migrants in that country,” said the AAJ in a statement

Below is the full text of the document:

The American Association of Jurists (AAJ) denounces the application, by the United States government, of the Foreign Enemy Act of 1798 against Venezuelan migrants, openly violating the fundamental principles contained in Covenants, Agreements, Charters and Conventions signed by nations and protected by Public International Law.

The application of this aberrant and anachronistic Law, which is nothing more than the practical expression of the enemy's criminal law, a Nazi-Fascist principle that justified the persecution and extermination of millions of people during the 20th century and so far in the 21st century, seeks to criminalize, without due judicial and administrative process, thousands of Venezuelan migrants in that country, subjecting them to acts vexatious to their human condition, to later market them and transfer them as undesirable goods to El Salvador, whose government admits to having done a good deal with the United States.

Venezuelans residing in the United States, are victims of a migration sponsored by that same country, when imposed against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela for more than twenty years and affirmed since 2015 by President Obama's Executive Decree, which declared the sister country an “unusual and extraordinary threat”, of multiple and illegal paramilitary measures and more than 950 unilateral coercive measures, with the sole objective of achieving violent change in government that Venezuelans have democratically elected.

The AAJ strongly rejects these measures, which have generated terror and indignation in other Latino communities in the United States, and are therefore constituting a crime against humanity.
