D.B.U. v. Trump (Alien Enemies Act DDC)
Case Overview
Venezuelan men in immigration custody at risk of being deported by the Trump administration to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act filed a habeas corpus petitioners seeking to prevent their deportation under the Alien Enemies Act and requested the court certify this action as a class action.
The Application
Petitioners argue the government lacks statutory authority to deport them to El Salvador rather than Venezuela under the Alien Enemies Act. If certified as a class action, the court's ruling would apply to all Venezuelan nationals in custody facing similar deportation orders.
The Conclusion
The case remains active as the court evaluates whether the Alien Enemies Act permits deportation to third countries and whether habeas corpus and class certification remedies are available to challenge such orders.
