Legal Action: ACLU Seeks Release of Three Venezuelans Through Habeas Corpus
Today, in a class action filed by the ACLU on behalf of three Venezuelan nationals, seeking a writ of habeas corpus, Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking the Trump Administration from deporting alleged members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang under the Alien Enemies Act. The court will hold a hearing this Friday to consider whether to extend the TRO beyond April 23, 2025, or issue other forms of emergency relief.
