U.S. District judge said the Trump administration must provide a 21-day notice if they plan to deport Venezuelans detained in Colorado under the act.

One judge accused the Trump administration of drastic and un-American tactics in its removal of migrants. “This is not the Inquisition,” he said.

In a brief order, the court directed the Trump administration not to remove Venezuelans held in Texas' Bluebonnet Detention Center "until further order from this court."
