The United States Supreme Court suspended the expulsion from the US administration on Saturday by virtue of a law of Venezuelan migrants of the 18th century suspected of belonging to a criminal organization.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, invoked the Law on Foreign Enemies (Alien Enemies Law) last month of 1798 to arrest Venezuelan migrants accused of belonging to the train gang in Aragua, before expelling them to a high security prison in Salvador.
“It is required that the government not express any member of this category of detainees in the United States until the additional notification of this court,” said the court order.
Emergency appeal
This decision follows an emergency appeal presented by human rights lawyers to stop the expulsion of migrants currently in a Texas center.
The American Union for Civil Liberties (American Union of Civil Liberties) indicated in its emergency appeal on Friday night that the group of Venezuelans detained in Texas had been informed that they would be “expected in an imminent” under the law on foreign enemies.
The lawyers of several Venezuelans already expelled said that their clients were not members of Aragua, they had not committed any crime and that they had been mainly attacked by their tattoos.
Donald Trump, who campaigned promising millions of undocumented migrants, accused Venezuela of “participating in an invasion” of the United States with the entry of alleged members of this Latin American gang.
The law of 1798 had previously been used only in times of war, especially against Japanese and German citizens in the US territory during World War II.
At the beginning of April, the Supreme Court had recalled that the people referred to by the people referred to by the people referred to by the people to whom they are referred to the people who must be “notified that they are attacked” by a deportation procedure “in a reasonable time, which allows them to appeal in Habeas Corpus” before a competent court.
