The claims surfaced following an emergency Supreme Court ruling that halted the deportation of a group of Venezuelan migrants allegedly tied to the criminal gang Tren de Aragua (TdA). Last month, the group had been scheduled for removal under the Alien Enemies Act but was instead returned to Bluebonnet after an emergency Supreme Court ruling.
In a supplemental memorandum submitted by Solicitor General D. John Sauer, the Department of Homeland Security warned that prolonged detention of TdA-affiliated individuals poses a threat, citing the gang’s known pattern of expanding its network through the prison population.
The same filing includes details of a reported incident on April 26, when 23 detainees allegedly barricaded themselves inside a housing unit, covered surveillance cameras, blocked windows, and threatened to “take hostages” and “injure” ICE staff.
“The detainees refused to comply with orders to dismantle the barricades and remained barricaded in the housing unit for several hours,” the document states.
The memorandum urges the courts to lift the legal block and allow deportations to proceed.
According to documents found on the Supreme Court’s website, an employee of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, reported that the detainees also attempted to flood the housing unit by clogging the toilets.
He stated that the 23 detainees were moved to the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, as this action was necessary due to the coordinated nature of the misconduct, which posed a threat to the safety and order of the Bluebonnet facility.
