Federal judge OKs use of Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans
Briefly

A federal judge has ruled that President Trump's administration can deport Venezuelan citizens found to be members of the Tren de Aragua gang using the Alien Enemies Act. This decision is significant as it marks the first approval of Trump labeling Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization. However, Judge Haines also emphasized the need for the government to provide longer notice periods to deportees, raising concerns about due process. The ruling does not clarify the use of the Act for those who entered the U.S. but are not linked to terrorism or other gangs.
The ruling by Judge Stephanie Haines allows deportation of Venezuelan citizens linked to Tren de Aragua under the Alien Enemies Act, setting a precedent.
Haines emphasized the significant constitutional issues at play while reiterating that this ruling does not cover other immigration laws or different gang members.
