Federal Judges Extend Orders Against Deportation Flights of Violent Venezuelan Gang Members
A D.C. federal judge has extended an order blocking deportation flights targeting individuals linked to violent Venezuelan gangs under a 1798 wartime immigration law known as the Alien Enemies Act.
A D.C. federal judge on Friday extended a restraining order against deportation flights, including a 1798 wartime act that targets violent Venezuelan gang members, in a move aimed at halting the Trump administration's efforts to deport nationals of Venezuela under the Alien Enemies Act. The extension comes after a court hearing where advocates argued that the law is unconstitutional and targeted immigrants unfairly. The decision blocks deportations until the case can be further reviewed.
