TdA Deportations Blocked Again: A federal judge in Texas has temporarily blocked the deportation of three Venezuelan men under the Alien Enemies Act - that’s the 18th century law the Trump administration is using to justify its fight against alleged Tren de Aragua gang members. Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. in Brownsville issued that order in a case brought by the American Civil Liberties Union; the new court battle comes just days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could restart those deportation efforts, but that legal challenges needed to be heard in the venues where detainees are being held. A similar ruling was issued Wednesday afternoon in a New York court for two other detainees.

Only two lawmakers voted in favor of keeping the resolution alive; after the vote, several Republican members called the stunt a waste of the chamber’s time.
