Washington Post - A
U.S. district court judge has ordered two Venezuelan nationals living
in D.C. to be released from immigration custody, saying the federal
government has failed to provide substantial evidence to declare either
of them was an “alien enemy” warranting removal under President Donald
Trump’s order invoking the Alien Enemies Act.
The
decision, issued Friday by El Paso-based Senior U.S. District Judge
David Briones, marks the first time a judge has ruled that the Trump
administration had erred in classifying someone as an “alien enemy” and
ordered a release. Many of the relatives and attorneys for men the Trump
administration has sent to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act have
strongly denied that they are Tren de Aragua gang members. The Supreme
Court ruled that the government needed to give anyone labeled an “alien
enemy” a chance to contest that designation.
