(Reuters) -A federal judge on Saturday temporarily blocked any deportations that would occur under U.S. President Donald Trump's use of a little-used wartime law to expedite the expulsion of alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
Hours earlier, Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 against the group, saying the United States was facing an "invasion" from a criminal organization that has been linked to kidnapping, extortion, organized crime and contract killings.
