A federal judge in El Paso, Texas, ruled that President Donald Trump acted unlawfully by invoking the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act to expel alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua without due process. The judge found multiple deficiencies in the Trump administration's use of the Act, permanently blocking future deportations under this proclamation and requiring a 30-day notice to the individuals prior to removal, along with an explanation of their constitutional rights. This ruling marks the latest legal setback for the administration, following a similar decision by another Texas federal judge who found that the executive order failed to establish an invasion or predatory incursion by the gang. Meanwhile, the Trump administration unveiled a new removal notice policy under the Alien Enemies Act, reducing the notice period to seven days and specifying rights related to habeas petitions and legal representation.

Additionally, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court, composed of Trump appointees, stayed a lower court order that sought to provide due process rights to Venezuelan detainees held in El Salvador. Immigration advocates have also filed a class action lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's proclamation that effectively ended the ability to seek asylum at U.S. ports of entry, marking the second such lawsuit over restrictions on asylum access.
