Federal judge calls emergency hearing amid report Trump administration plans imminent deportations under Alien Enemies Act

US District Judge James Boasberg called for an emergency hearing Friday amid reports that the Trump administration is planning “imminent” deportations under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.Lawyers for accused Venezuelan gang members asked Boasberg to issue a temporary restraining order requiring 30 days’ notice from the Trump administration before any of their clients are deported under the 18th-century law, in a motion filed in the District Court for Washington, DC.“Late last night and early today, Plaintiffs learned that the government has begun giving notices of removal to class members, in English only, which do not say how much time individuals have to contest their removal or even how to do so,” the motion stated.“And officers last night told class members that they will be removed within 24 hours, which expires as early as this afternoon,” the filing continued.“Upon information and belief, individuals have already been loaded on to buses.”Planning for more deportations under the Alien Enemies Act is underway and flights are “imminent,” a US official told ABC News Friday night.“We are not going to reveal the details of counter terrorism operations, but we are complying with the Supreme Court’s ruling,” Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Post.The hearing is scheduled for 6:15 p.m.
