A federal judge in New York has blocked the government from deporting suspected Venezuelan gang members, holding that the Trump administration improperly invoked an 18th-century law and failed to provide due process for deportees.
Issued on May 6, the order is the second preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge in less than a week. Challenges to the deportations have been ongoing, with several more temporary orders, including from the Supreme Court, blocking a proclamation President Donald Trump signed in March.
