District Court Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney cited the high court’s weekend order barring removal of anyone from North Texas, where the ACLU had contended the administration was preparing to deport Venezuelans under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 without giving them the legal notice required under a prior Supreme Court ruling. The ACLU asked the Supreme Court to halt removals from an immigration detention center in North Texas, where a judge had not barred deportations, because it said Venezuelan migrants were given notice in English of their pending removal and not told they had the right to contest it in court. The federal government argued it was too soon for the courts to act because it wasn’t trying to remove the individual plaintiffs who filed the lawsuit at the time.
