Federal judges in New York and Texas on Wednesday issued orders to temporarily halt the deportation of Venezuelan plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act – a wartime authority the administration has invoked to deport alleged gang members without due process.

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — Federal judges in New York and Texas on Wednesday took legal action to block the government from moving five Venezuelans out of the country until they can fight the government’s attempt to remove them under a rarely-invoked law that gives the president the power to imprison and deport noncitizens in times of war.

The Trump administration’s bid to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members was temporarily blocked by judges in New York and Texas, in a pair of cases over the president’s use of a two-century old wartime law.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was driving home with his young son in Maryland when he was stopped by agents from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Agents took Mr Garcia into custody, then shuttled him to detention facilities in Louisiana and Texas.

Federal judges in New York and Texas have temporarily blocked the deportation of several Venezuelan migrants. CBS News Department of Justice correspondent Scott MacFarlane has the details.

Three men are being detained in a facility in Texas while two more are being held in an Orange County, New York, facility.

The Supreme Court said that people fighting deportation under the Alien Enemies Act needed to file in different places than they had. Now, they've lost there too.

A judge had blocked the Trump administration's use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.

A federal judge is hearing a new challenge in the case surrounding the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to justify snap deportations. This comes after the Supreme Court allowed the government to resume the controversial deportation flights based on an "improper" venue premise in the case.
