COURTHOUSE,
April 11 – In the wake of the
Supreme Court vacating the
stay on removals under the
Alien Enemies Act, on April 8
a habeas corpus putative class
action was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New
York.
The suit
asks the Court to "enjoin
Respondents from transferring
Petitioners out of this
district during the pendency
of this litigation" and to
"grant a writ of habeas corpus
to Petitioners to enjoin
Respondents from removing them
pursuant to the [AEA]
Proclamation."
The case
was wheeled out to Senior
Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein,
who scheduled oral argument
for April 9 at 10 am.
Inner City Press
was there and live tweeted. At
first Judge Hellerstein said
his TRO would be limited to
Orange County, where the two
named plaintiffs are. At the
end, after ICE on Rikers
Island was cited, he appeared
to extend it to all of SDNY. Thread.
And on April 11
he extended it to city and
state custody: "the class is
hereby defined as: All
noncitizens in federal, state,
or local custody in the
Southern District of New York
who were, are, or will be
subject to the March 2025
Presidential Proclamation
entitled 'Invocation of the
Alien Enemies Act Regarding
the Invasion of the United
States by Tren De Aragua'
and/or its implementation, who
have not been given notice
following the Supreme Court's
decision of April 7, 2025,
Trump v. J.G.G., No. 24A931,
2025 WL 1024097, and granted a
hearing."
