Federal judges in New York and Texas block Trump deportations after SCOTUS ruling

Federal judges in Texas and New York temporarily blocked the Trump admin from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans after a Supreme Court ruling.

U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr., in Brownsville, Texas, granted a temporary restraining order filed on behalf of three Venezuelan nationals. The order temporarily blocks their removal under the AEA, as well as the removal of "any other person that Respondents claim are subject to removal under the Proclamation" from the district's El Valle Detention Center, according to the text of his ruling. Breanne Deppisch is a national politics reporter for Fox News Digital covering the Trump administration, with a focus on the Justice Department, FBI, and other national news. 

Rodriguez, a Trump appointee, sided with plaintiffs' contention that allowing the law to be used for their deportations would likely cause "immediate and irreparable injury to the removed individuals," whom he said would likely be "unable to seek habeas relief."
