The Trump administration has given immigrants only 12 hours to challenge their deportation after being officially notified, according to unsealed documents released Thursday.
The application came from an official from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The document was revealed in federal courtrooms with a pending assignment from a lawyer representing detained immigrants held in the state.
“There may be exceptional cases that are fact-specific, but in the general case, after alien has been accompanied by form AEA 21-B, the alien is given reasonable time and more than 12 hours including the ability to make a call.
“If the aliens do not express such intent, the ice can proceed with removal, but such removal may not actually occur for more time or days, giving the aliens additional time to express their intent.”

Those that are normally scheduled to be deported will be permitted to file habeasistic petitions under the alien enemy law within 24 hours.
“If an alien expresses his intention to file a habeas ward, the alien will be given more than 24 hours of reasonable time to actually file that petition,” reads the unsealed document. “If the alien does not file such a petition within 24 hours, ICE can proceed with the removal, but such removal may not actually occur for more or several days, giving the alien additional time to file the petition.”

The document comes days after the Supreme Court moved to halt the deportation of Venezuelan criminals under the Foreign Enemy Act of 1798.
The decision, issued early Saturday morning, was contested by Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
“We refused to participate in the court order because we had no good reason to believe it was necessary or appropriate under circumstances to issuance of an order in the middle of the night,” Alito wrote in dissent.
