Judge won’t lift block on Trump use of Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans
- The U.S. Ninth Circuit affirmed a ruling that blocked the Trump administration from ending Temporary Protected Status for about 350,000 Venezuelans nationwide until October 2, 2026.
- This ruling came after Judge Chen concluded that removing Venezuelan TPS recipients without additional evaluation could cause serious harm and found that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s decision to end their protections relied on generalized assumptions and stereotypes.
- Separate federal rulings have also stalled termination of a Biden-era parole program called CHNV, which since January 2023 has allowed over 500,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. Temporarily.
- The U.S. Supreme Court recently halted Trump administration attempts to deport Venezuelan detainees in Texas under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, directing that no removals occur until further court order.
- These rulings limit the administration's aggressive deportation plans for undocumented migrants, reflecting courts' emphasis on due process and legal challenges to the use of the Alien Enemies Act.
