Tap title to read story
A federal judge in Colorado has temporarily halted the deportation of immigrants potentially removed under the Alien Enemies Act, invoked by President Trump. The order, requested by the ACLU on behalf of two Venezuelan men, prevents the removal of all non-citizens in Colorado custody facing deportation under this act. The judge's action follows similar rulings in New York and Texas, responding to a Supreme Court decision mandating court hearings before deportation under this law. The temporary injunction lasts 14 days, with a hearing scheduled for April 21st.
