Friday, the American Civil Liberties Union asked two federal judges to order the Trump administration not to expel the Venezuelans who stood in northern Texas under a law in wartime of the 18th century, affirming that the immigration authorities seemed to restart withdrawals despite the restrictions of the American Supreme Court on the way in which it can use the law.
The group has already continued to block the deportations under the law on extraterrestrial enemies of 1798 of two Venezuelans detained in the BlueBonnet detention Center and requests a judge to make an order prohibiting the moves of any immigrant in the region under the law. In an emergency file early Friday, ACLU warned that the immigration authorities accused other Venezuelan men who are required to be members of the Gang Tren of Aragua who would make them submit to the use by President Donald Trump of the law.
The law has only been invoked at three times before in the history of the United States, more recently during the Second World War to hold Japanese-American civilians in the internment camps. The Trump administration argued that he had given them the power to quickly withdraw immigrants whom they identified as gang members, regardless of their immigration status.
The group’s aclu and democracy continued to stop the deportations under the law. The United States Supreme Court authorized the evictions to resume, but ruled unanimously that they could only proceed if those who are about to be removed had the opportunity to plead their business to the courts and were “a reasonable time” to challenge their outstanding moves.
The Federal Judges of Colorado, New York and South Texas quickly made the orders unless the prisoners are removed under the AEA until the administration provides them with a process for making court. But there was no prescription of this type in the Texas region which covers Bluebonnet, which is located 24 miles north of the city of Abilene at the northern end of the State.
District judge James Wesley Hendrix refused this week to prohibit the administration from withdrawing the two men identified in the ACLU trial because Ice has filed declarations under oath that they would not be immediately expelled.
But the ACLU Friday’s file includes statements under the oath of three distinct immigration lawyers who said their BlueBonnet customers had received documents indicating that they were members of Tren from Aragua and could be expelled by Saturday. In one case, the immigration lawyer, Karene Brown, said that his client, identified by the initials and who spoke only Spanish, was invited to sign papers in English.
“Ice informed the MGF that these papers came from the president and that he will be expelled even if he did not sign it,” wrote Brown.
ACLU asked Hendrix to issue a temporary order interrupting such deportations. Later Friday, unanswered by Hendrix, the ACLU asked the district judge James E. Boasberg in Washington to make a similar emergency prescription, saying that they had information that the prisoners were loaded on the buses. Boasberg is the judge who initially ruled on the Alien Enemies Act case affair, and found that there was a probable cause that the Trump administration committed criminal contempt by disobeying its decision, only to see the rule of the Supreme Court that only judges where migrants are detained have jurisdiction to interrupt their dismissal.
Ice said it wouldn’t comment on the dispute.
Also Friday, a Massachusetts judge made his temporary ban on the administration who expels immigrants who have exhausted their calls to countries other than those unless they are informed of their destination permanent and have had the possibility of opposing if they are confronted with torture or death there.
Some countries, such as Venezuela, do not accept deportations of the United States, which led the Trump administration to conclude agreements with other countries such as Panama to host them. The Venezuelans submitted to the Trump’s extraterrestrial enemies Act were sent to Salvador and hosted in his main prison.
