Federal judge bars government from removing accused 'alien enemies' from Colorado
- On May 6, 2025, U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney issued a preliminary injunction preventing the federal government from removing Venezuelan nationals in Colorado under the authority of the Alien Enemies Act.
- The injunction follows a lawsuit by two Venezuelans denying links to Tren de Aragua, challenging President Trump's March proclamation invoking the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to expedite removals.
- Judge Sweeney rejected the government’s claims that courts lack jurisdiction, called their arguments “nonsense” and flagged serious due process issues in labeling individuals as alien enemies.
- Tim Macdonald of the ACLU emphasized that everyone, even the federal government, must adhere to the law, highlighting that deporting individuals without proper notice or legal procedures is both illegal and inhumane.
- This ruling adds to recent judicial setbacks against the Trump administration’s deportation efforts and expands the case into a class-action covering all noncitizens subject to the proclamation in Colorado.
