An American official tells ABC News that he is planning for an imminent US military deportation flight under the Alien enemies law.
The development occurs when the lawyers of several Venezuelan migrants who are arrested in a Texas detention center said that they believe that their clients have an “imminent risk” of being deported to El Salvador under the AEA.
Last month, the Trump administration triggered a legal battle when it invoked Alien enemies law, an authority in times of war used to eliminate non -citizens with little or less process due to two, to deport two planes of plans of the members of the migrant gangs to the mega prison of Cecot in El Salvador by arguing that the Venezuelan train of Aragu is a “hybrid hybrid state.”
In a judicial presentation on Friday, the lawyers presented a document that they say is the notice that their clients received on Friday from immigration officials.
The document, entitled “Notice and order of apprehension and elimination under the Law of Alien Enemies,” he says, “has decided to be … a member of the Aragua train.”
“He has decided to be an alien enemy subject to apprehension, moderation and elimination of the United States,” says the notice. “This is not an elimination under the immigration and nationality law.”
In a 5-4 decision earlier this month, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could resume deportations of alleged members of Venezuelan gangs under the alien enemies law, but said that detainees should receive due process to challenge their elimination.
ACLU presented a document that they say that their clients received notifying them of their elimination from the United States under the AEA.

The notice that their clients received on Friday, according to ACLU, “does not say that one can dispute the designation under the AEA.”
“The plaintiffs emphasize that they are told the proposed class members that will be imminently withdrawn under the AEA, as soon as tonight,” said the Aclu lawyers.
In response to the notification, Acu’s lawyers in Washington, DC, on Friday afternoon, asked the United States district judge, James Boasberg, who last month issued the initial order that blocks the flights of the AEA, to issue a temporary restriction order that required “notice of 30 days before eliminating a class member under the law of enemy enemies.”
In the emergency motion for immediate ruling, ACLU lawyers cited the ABC News report that is planning for an imminent US military deportation flight under the AEA.
“The officers last night told the class members that will be eliminated within 24 hours, which expires as soon as this afternoon,” the ACLU wrote. “After information and belief, individuals have already been loaded by buses.”
“The government has refused to give information about these notices and removals to class lawyers despite multiple applications,” the ACLU wrote. “Without the immediate intervention of this court, dozens or hundreds of class members can be removed from Cecot in a matter of hours, all without any real opportunity to seek a judicial review, challenging due process and the order of the Supreme Court.”
ACLU lawyers said the District Court in the Northern District of Texas, where the Bluebonnet detention center is located, had refused to act at requesting to issue a temporary restriction order or holding a state conference.
A federal judge in Texas denied the request of the ACLU of a restriction order on Thursday, saying in an order that the ACLU “did not comply with its burden to show a substantial threat of imminent and irreparable injuries.”
The judge said that because the Government previously declared that the authorities would not eliminate the petitioners during the litigation of the case, the ACLU “has not made a sufficient demonstration at this stage to convince the court that the Government will violate their representations to that sense.”
After several lawyers filed statements saying that several of their clients were informed by immigration and customs agents that Customs agents who were being sent to El Salvador, ACLU presented a new emergency application for a temporary restriction order.
“In the hours after the order of this court on the tro, the lawyer of the lawyer Brown, FGM, was contacted by ICE officers, accused of being a member of the Train of Aragua, and told him to sign documents in English,” said the lawyers of the ACLU. “ICE told him that the newspapers went from” coming from the president “, and that he will be deported even if he did not sign it.”
In a statement, Michelle Brane, executive director of the Immigration Support Group, “Together and Free,” said an individual detained at the Bluebonnet detention center in Texas called his sister and informed him that the officers told a group of Venezuelans who were being sent to El Salvador.
Brane also linked a video of Tiktok in his statement that seems to be a video call between a family member and a detained individual who showed photos of a warning that he allegedly received saying that he will be eliminated.
In the video, the man says in Spanish: “We need help … They say we are enemies … Train members of Aragua. They are saying that they will eliminate us.”
