The ACLU obtained the notice some Venezuelan migrants have received to inform them of the government’s plan to deport them via the Alien Enemies Act. This notice was signed by an official today but the migrant refused to sign it. ACLU now says deportations could start tonight. https://t.co/n0q1kNIrsZ
