Federal judge bars Trump administration from speeding up Venezuelan deportations

Investing.com -- A federal judge in Texas has ruled that President Donald Trump’s administration overstepped its bounds by using the Alien Enemies Act to expedite the deportation of some Venezuelan migrants. This decision, announced on Thursday, prevents the administration from utilizing this 18th-century wartime law to accelerate deportations.

The judge found that the administration had exceeded the scope of the Alien Enemies Act, a law that was originally enacted during wartime in the 18th century. This law allows for the arrest, imprisonment, and deportation of any alien enemies during times of hostility.
