A 33-year-old Venezuelan national with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) filed this class-action against the Trump administration and wardens of several detention centers. The plaintiff challenged Proclamation 10903 and the federal government’s use of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) to detain and remove Venezuelan noncitizens, including those with lawful TPS, without due process. She argues that these actions exceed the government’s authority under the AEA and violate the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act, and the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause. Related to Sanchez Puentes v. Garite, the case seeks class-wide protection from detention and removal, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and writ of habeas corpus.
