This case is one of several lawsuits challenging the Trump administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to detain and deport noncitizens without due process. You can see all of the cases here.

On May 5, 2025, a Venezuelan man in immigration custody at risk of imminent removal under President Trump's Proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act filed this petition for writ of habeas corpus in the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island. He named President Donald Trump, the U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and its Secretary, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and its Acting Director, the U.S. State Department and its Secretary, the U.S. Department of Defense and its Secretary, the acting Boston Field Office Director of ICE, and the Warden of the Wyatt Detention Facility. The Petitioner alleged that Defendants' actions exceeded their authority under the AEA and violated the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Foreign Affairs and Restructuring Act of 1998, and the Fifth Amendment.

The case was assigned to District Judge Melissa R. Dubose, who ordered on May 5 that the government give the court advance notice before moving the petitioner from the district. 

The case is ongoing.
