President Donald Trump is facing a new challenge to his use of a wartime law to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members, less than a day after the US Supreme Court sided with the administration in an earlier fight.
The case, filed Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan, was brought on behalf of two men trying to stop their removal from the US under the Alien Enemies Act, as well as similar deportations. A judge directed the government to keep them in the country for now and scheduled a Wednesday hearing on their request for an order pausing removals while the case goes forward.
