McALLEN, Texas (AP) — Federal judges in New York and Texas on Wednesday took legal action to block the government from moving five Venezuelans out of the country until they can fight the government’s attempt to remove them under a rarely-invoked law that gives the president the power to imprison and deport noncitizens in times of war.

Federal judges in New York and Texas on Wednesday issued orders to temporarily halt the deportation of Venezuelan plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act – a wartime authority the administration has invoked to deport alleged gang members without due process.

President Donald Trump is expected to sign executive orders Tuesday aimed at boosting coal, a reliable but polluting energy source that’s long been in decline.

The Trump administration is touting a Supreme Court ruling allowing it to resume deportations under the Alien Enemies Act as a major victory, but the immigration fight is far from over.

The first wave of challenges from President Trump's executive orders are being heard by the Supreme Court. The court handed two wins to the Trump administration.

The court lifted a block on deporting accused Venezuelan gang members for now. But that doesn’t mean the administration can go back to business as usual.

The 5-4 ruling Monday will allow the administration to continue removing alleged Tren de Aragua gang members using a wartime law.

The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to use a 1798 wartime law to deport Venezuelan migrants it accuses of being gang members.
