Deportation of Venezuelan Criminal Migrants
Two judges in D.C. upheld the ability of Judge James Boasberg to temporarily block deportations of Venezuelan criminal migrants. Pro-migration groups sued on behalf of migrants facing deportation from Texas, arguing that the Alien Enemies Act violated due process. Stephen Miller criticized the decision as judicial tyranny, while the dissenting judge argued the case should be reviewed in Texas.
