Legal Maneuvering Ongoing Amid Imminent Deportation Risks Under Alien Enemies Act
As the Trump administration prepares to escalate deportations under the controversial Alien Enemies Act (AEA), multiple legal efforts are being undertaken to halt imminent deportations of Venezuelan migrants and alleged gang members. The ACLU has filed urgent requests with the Supreme Court claiming that more deportation flights are imminent, while various attorneys warn that many clients face immediate risks of removal. Federal judges in multiple states, including Colorado and Nevada, have issued temporary holds on deportations, emphasizing the need for due process amid accusations of incorrect gang affiliations. As the legal battle intensifies, advocates continue to push for protections for the affected immigrant populations.
