Federal judges in Texas and New York have expanded temporary protections for Venezuelan migrants facing deportation. A federal judge in South Texas, Fernando Rodriguez Jr., issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans detained in the Southern District of Texas. This decision follows a series of rulings that have halted deportations under the Trump administration's policies, particularly concerning Venezuelan gang suspects and other migrants. The Supreme Court has also weighed in, allowing the Trump administration to resume deportations under certain wartime laws, but lower courts have continued to issue injunctions that complicate these efforts. The rulings reflect ongoing legal battles over immigration policy and the authority of federal judges to intervene in executive actions.

Speaker Johnson: “We've had a real abuse of this system, where these judges.. will issue nationwide injunctions to stop the President’s agenda. 67% of all national injunctions over the last 100 years have been issued against one president: Donald J. Trump” https://t.co/blCRQZgNun

There have been fewer than 200 nationwide injunctions issued in the history of the United States. Almost all of them have been issued in the last 20 years, with the majority of recent injunctions being issued against President Trump. They’re almost all unlawful.
