Federal judge extends Colorado deportation ban tied to 1798 law as legal fight escalates

DENVER (AP) โ€” A federal judge has extended her order temporarily preventing the Trump administration from moving or deporting anyone from Colorado under an 18th century wartime act that has become ensnared in a U.S. Supreme Court battle.

District Court Judge Charlotte N. Sweeney cited the high courtโ€™s weekend order barring removal of anyone from North Texas, where the ACLU had contended the administration was preparing to deport Venezuelans under theย Alien Enemies Actย of 1798 without giving them the legal notice required under a prior Supreme Court ruling.
