ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A federal court on Sunday blocked the Trump administration from sending three Venezuela n immigrants held in New Mexico toIn a legal filing earlier in the day, lawyers for the men said the detainees “fit the profile of those the administration has prioritized for detention in Guantanamo, i.e. Venezuela n men detained in the El Paso area with charges of connections with the Tren de Aragua gang.
It asked a U.S. District Court in New Mexico for a temporary restraining order blocking their transfer, adding that “the mere uncertainty the government has created surrounding the availability of legal process and counsel access is sufficient to authorize the modest injunction.” During a brief hearing, Judge Kenneth J.
