Venezuelans subject to removal under wartime act have 12 hours to decide on contesting, docs show
- Migrants under the Alien Enemies Act have 12 hours to contest their removal from the U.S., as revealed in unsealed court documents that emphasize this timeframe complies with a Supreme Court decision about reasonable time to appeal.
- Venezuelans accused of ties to the Tren de Aragua are being deported to a prison in El Salvador, known as CECOT, under the wartime act.
- Critics, including the ACLU, argue that 12 hours is insufficient for detainees to seek legal counsel and contest their removal, asserting that a longer notice period is necessary.
- The Justice Department claims the process allows for reasonable time to indicate intentions to contest removal, though the form provided is only in English, and is challenged as not being adequately informative.
