US EditionVenezuelans subject to removal under wartime act have 12 hours to decide on contesting, docs show
- A federal judge in West Texas temporarily blocked the deportations of Venezuelan immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act, stating that government lawyers have not shown a lawful basis for detaining them.
- U.S. District Judge David Briones ordered that the government must provide a 21-day notice before attempting to remove anyone, contrasting with the government's claim of needing only 12 hours.

- Briones emphasized the established due process requirements for the removal of noncitizens, noting that the executive branch's use of wartime powers in peacetime has caused chaos and uncertainty regarding individual cases.
