UPDATED REPORT: Multiple federal judges temporarily halt Trump's Alien Enemies Act removals. - LawDork
https://www.lawdork.com/p/aclu-brings-class-habeas-action-inIn two lawsuits filed in the two days since the U.S. Supreme Court limited Alien Enemies Act litigation to habeas corpus proceedings, federal judges have already issued orders blocking removals under the law that — before President Donald Trump — had previously only been invoked during wartime.
The ACLU filed a class petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the Southern District of New York on Tuesday challenging Trump's Alien Enemies Act proclamation and the implementation of it that began on March 15.
The filing was a near-immediate response to Monday's 5-4 U.S. Supreme Court decision holding that challenges to the proclamation and implementation must be brought in habeas.
U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein, a Clinton appointee who has overseen many high-profile cases, quickly scheduled a hearing on the motion for a temporary restraining order for 9 a.m. Wednesday — and ordered the petitioners not to be deported or moved out of the district in the meantime.
That was followed Wednesday morning by a second class petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the Southern District of Texas. The ACLU is representing the petitioners in that case as well.
Hours later, U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez, Jr., a Trump appointee, issued a temporary restraining order, barring the Trump administration from Alien Enemies Act-based removals "from the El Valle Detention Center" in Texas.
