Several judges have temporarily halted deportations under the act in parts of Texas, New York, California, Pennsylvania and elsewhere, finding the administration’s 24 hour window that it gave detainees to challenge their designation under the act did not meet the Supreme Court’s requirement of providing a “reasonable” chance to seek relief.

“He gives us hope,” she said. “Aguilar is going to be an example for future generations.”But others like Romel González Díaz, a member of the Xpujil Indigenous Council in a Mayan community in southern Mexico, cast doubt on if Aguilar would truly act as a voice for their community.Aguilar’s work came under fire when he joined the government’s National Institute of Indigenous Peoples at the beginning of López Obrador’s administration in 2018. It was then that he began to work on a mega-project known as the Maya Train fiercely criticized by environmentalists, Indigenous communities and even the United Nations.
The train, which runs in a rough loop around the Yucatan peninsula, has deforested large swathes of jungle and irreversibly damaged an ancient cave system sacred to Indigenous populations there. Aguilar was tasked with investigating the potential impacts of the train, hearing the concerns of local Indigenous communities and informing them of the consequences.That was when González Díaz met Aguilar, who arrived with a handful of government officials, who sat down for just a few hours with his small community in Xpujil, and provided sparse details about the negative parts of the project.
González Díaz’s organization was among many to take legal action against the government in an attempt to block train construction for not properly studying the project’s impacts.
The environmental destruction left in the project’s wake is something that continues to fuel his distrust for Aguilar.Trump, in his post, did not say how he reacted to Putin’s promise to respond to
