California Judge Temporarily Blocks Deportations of Venezuelans Amid Escalating Legal Challenges
A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order halting Venezuelan deportations in light of the Supreme Court's recent ruling.








Overview
In a rapidly evolving legal battleground, a federal judge in California has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's deportation of Venezuelans under the Alien Enemies Act. This ruling follows the U.S. Supreme Court's decision allowing the termination of Temporary Protected Status for 350,000 Venezuelans, which raised concerns over deportation risks amid Venezuela's ongoing humanitarian crisis. The order, effective until May 30, is linked to a lawsuit involving Darwin Antonio Arevalo Millan, a Venezuelan dissident who has applied for asylum. The government faces increasing legal challenges, with deportations already paused by the court for those from detention facilities.
