President Trump has enacted an executive order to deport Venezuelan gang members, specifically targeting those aged 14 and older from the Tren de Aragua gang, leveraging the rarely used Alien Enemies Act. This wartime law allows for summary deportations without the standard due process. The A.C.L.U. responded with a lawsuit against the order, leading to a federal judge blocking the deportation of five Venezuelan men. The government has appealed the ruling, and there is ongoing debate regarding the due process implications of the executive order.
The executive order by President Trump, utilizing the Alien Enemies Act, targets Venezuelan gang members for expedited deportation, drawing significant legal challenges from civil rights organizations.
The Alien Enemies Act, a historical law enabling summary deportations, has not been invoked since World War II and raises concerns regarding due process for those affected.
