A federal judge temporarily prevented the Trump administration on Monday evening from using a strong war time law to deport migrants in Veglawi Al Salvador in Colorado, who were accused of being members of violent gangs.
The lawsuit, It was brought in the Federal Provincial Court in Colorado By the American Civil Liberties Union, it was the third of its kind deposited in recent days, and joining similar challenges that were presented last week in Texas and New York.
The American Civil Liberties Union attorneys brought the lawsuit on behalf of two men – known in the papers of the court only by the first letters, DBU and RMM claim that they were incorrectly accused by the administration of being members of the Venezuelan gang, Tree de Aragoa.
In a later file, Aclu It seems to indicate The administration may be preparing to deport additional immigrants in Colorado, and also accused of belonging to Treen de Aragoa.
Court papers say that DBU, 32, was arrested on January 26 in a gathering of the federal drug and immigration agents, repeatedly and repeatedly as the Trine de Aragoa party. After his arrest, the papers say, he denied being a member of the gang and was not accused of any crime.
The papers of the court said that the federal agents arrested RMM, 25, last month after he saw him standing with three Spanish -desperate men near their cars outside the residence in Colorado under control as part of the investigation into the Trine de Aragoa.
The newspapers said that RMM claimed that he had nothing to do with the gang and went to the site with friends “to meet a possible buyer of his car at a public meeting.”
Mr. Trump’s efforts to use the Foreign Enemies Law began to deport dozens of Venezuelan immigrants, one of the most controversial legal battles in his second term. It started last month, after the president Call the verbThat has been used only three times since it was passed in 1798, to authorize the deportation of people who claimed to be members of Tren de Aragua.
The American Civil Liberties Union immediately began to fight Mr. Trump’s use of the law, which the administration has already used to deport more than 100 Venezuelan immigrants to Cecot Megaprison in El Salvador, known for its human rights violations.
The initial challenge by the American Civil Liberties Union in Washington was brought in, where a federal judge issued James E. Boasberg, to temporarily stop deportation trips to El Salvador. Judge Boasberg expressed concern that the immigrants who fell under the announcement of Mr. Trump He had no way to compete for whether they were a gang members In the first place.
Federal Appeal Court in Washington He agreed to it laterHe found that at this early stage, it seems unlikely that the law of foreign enemies was applied as Mr. Trump was trying to use it.
Then last week, the Supreme Court occupied a notice before removing it from the country so that they could challenge the operation in the court. The judges said that these challenges should be made in places where immigrants were detained.
This has pushed Aclu to a stampede to determine the location of any Venezuelan who may undergo the advertisement of Mr. Trump. They have so far registered migrants in Texas, New York and Colorado, and the lawsuits filed on their behalf were temporary measures aimed at keeping them in the country until the basic legal questions that involve the administration’s use of the law of foreign enemies were resolved.
