A federal judge in Colorado has instructed the Trump administration not to deport two Venezuelan men currently in immigration custody. These men have asserted that they are being unfairly targeted and misrepresented in the media as part of the notorious Tren de Aragua gang. The judge, Charlotte N. Sweeney, has ruled that the men must remain in the U.S. until the Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit or a lower court decides to overturn her order safeguarding their presence, amid the ongoing deportations carried out by the president under an 18th-century wartime law.

Judge Sweeney issued this directive through a brief court order on Monday following a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) over the weekend. The ACLU’s emergency motion requested a temporary restraining order (TRO) on behalf of two individuals identified only as D.B.U. and R.M.M., who are detained at the Denver Detention Contract Facility in Denver.

The ACLU’s legal team argues that these two Venezuelan detainees are facing imminent deportation under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 (AEA). The Trump administration has been using this law to support its large-scale deportations of Venezuelan men allegedly linked to the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, all without providing adequate due process or evidence, according to the ACLU.
