Court Filing Reveals Urgent Timeline for Migrants Contesting Removal Under Alien Enemies Act

A Texas federal court filing exposes the tight timeline migrants face to contest their removal under the Alien Enemies Act. Migrants must notify ICE within 12 hours of being told they are removable and file a petition within 24 hours. Despite this, ICE can proceed with removal even if a petition is filed, unless a judge issues an emergency court order halting the process.
