DHS Files Emergency SCOTUS Request After Violent Gang Members Take Over ICE Facility
The Department of Homeland Security has urgently requested the U.S. Supreme Court to lift a temporary injunction blocking deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, citing a violent incident at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.
The emergency filing, announced Tuesday, follows a dangerous uprising at the Bluebonnet Detention Facility in Anson, Texas, involving members of the Tren de Aragua gang, a group designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the Trump administration.
According to DHS, 23 TdA members barricaded themselves inside their housing unit at the facility, using bed cots to block doors and threatening to take hostages and harm ICE agents.
They also threatened to flood the facility by clogging toilets.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin described the severity of the situation in a statement released by DHS, emphasizing the immediate threat posed by the detained gang members.
