Judge blocks deportation of Venezuelan migrants, citing due process violations under a 1798 law.

U.S. District Judge John Holcomb, appointed by Trump, has blocked the deportation of a Venezuelan migrant under the Alien Enemies Act, citing a lack of due process. The judge's ruling affects a broader class of Venezuelan detainees in his district, preventing their deportation until further legal proceedings. The Trump administration invoked the 1798 law, claiming actions by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua constitute a "predatory incursion."
