Emergency lawsuit filed in federal court to again halt removals under the Alien Enemies Act for people within that court’s judicial district.

The action follows a U.S. Supreme Court decision on April 7 lifting a nationwide temporary restraining order in a challenge to President Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 wartime act the administration is trying to use to bypass immigration law.

In its ruling, the Supreme Court also ordered that people targeted for removal under the act are entitled to challenge their removals and must have meaningful notice and opportunity to do so.
