These rulings occurred following a Supreme Court decision regarding the Trump administration&#8217;s use of this law. Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr., appointed by Trump, stopped deportations in parts of Texas after a lawsuit from the ACLU representing three Venezuelans. Together,Judge Alvin Hellerstein,appointed by Clinton,issued a similar order in New York based on a lawsuit for two other Venezuelan individuals. The rulings come as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-more-votes-than-voters-in-key-swing-states\/\" title=\"...: More Votes Than Voters in Key Swing States\">ongoing legal challenges<\/a> to Trump&#8217;s deportation policy, which has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sheriff-mark-lamb-makes-push-to-reunite-fractured-arizona-gop-in-senate-fight\/\" title=\"Sheriff Mark Lamb aims to unite divided Arizona GOP in Senate battle.\">faced scrutiny due<\/a> to its implications for individuals purportedly associated with gang activity. As a result, five Venezuelans initially slated for deportation are currently detained in Texas and New York, with new lawsuits potentially paving the way for further legal review of the Alien Enemies Act&#8217;s request.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Judges temporarily block Alien Enemies Act deportations in dual cases<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2086270\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Two federal judges granted nearly simultaneous orders Wednesday that temporarily blocked Alien Enemies Act deportations in parts of Texas and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-york\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"New York\">New York<\/a>, rulings that come days after the Supreme Court <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3374144\/what-to-expect-supreme-court-trump-alien-enemies-act\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">weighed in<\/a> on the Trump administration&rsquo;s use of the law.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr., a Trump appointee, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.courtlistener.com\/docket\/69862833\/12\/jav-v-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">halted<\/a> deportations in two counties in south Texas under the Alien Enemies Act until April 23 in response to a lawsuit brought Wednesday morning by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of three Venezuelans.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3374819\/doj-deals-major-blow-mexican-cartels-509-million-dollar-drug-bust-coast-guard-pam-bondi\/\">DOJ deals &#8216;major blow&#8217; to Mexican cartels with $509 million drug bust by Coast Guard: Bondi<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3374797\/anna-paulina-luna-continues-call-release-robert-hur-tapes-biden-interview\/\">Anna Paulina Luna continues to call for release of Robert Hur tapes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/3374144\/what-to-expect-supreme-court-trump-alien-enemies-act\/\">What to expect after Supreme Court clears way for Trump&rsquo;s Alien Enemies Act deportations<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Moments earlier, Judge Alvin Hellerstein, a Clinton appointee, issued a similar verbal temporary order from New York in response to a lawsuit brought Tuesday by the ACLU on behalf of two Venezuelans.
