A federal judge has already limited the Trump administration's ability to deport five Venezuelans under the wartime law.

A federal judge in Washington barred the Trump administration from deporting five Venezuelans under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which gives the president sweeping wartime powers. It was last used to imprison Japanese Americans during WWII.

Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act against Tren de Aragua members. A federal judge later ordered the administration to turn around any planes that had already taken off.
