Overview
- The Supreme Court has temporarily halted deportations of Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act, citing insufficient time for detainees to challenge their removal.
- ICE now requires detainees to receive at least 12 hours to declare intent to file a habeas petition and 24 hours to submit it, following judicial orders.
- Nearly 300 Venezuelan men, alleged by the Trump administration to be members of the Tren de Aragua gang, have already been deported to El Salvador's CECOT prison.
- A CBS News investigation revealed that 75% of the deported individuals lacked criminal records, raising concerns about misidentification and wrongful removals.
- Legal battles continue in multiple courts, with civil liberties groups challenging the constitutionality of the Alien Enemies Act's application and procedural safeguards.
