Alien Enemies Act Deportation
8 proceedings tracked · Active
The Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport Venezuelans alleged to be Tren de Aragua gang members without immigration proceedings. The AEA had not been used since World War II. Courts split on whether the act applies and whether individuals are entitled to hearings before removal. The Supreme Court stepped in on an emergency basis, and foundational questions about AEA scope remain unresolved.
