Activist Judge Boasberg: Tren de Aragua Prison Gang Members Have Right to Appeal Their Deportations (and Must Be Allowed to Remain in the US During Their Appeals)

Incredible.

Judge Boasberg allows Tren de Aragua gangsters to appeal deportations

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled Monday that Venezuelan nationals allegedly tied to the notorious Tren de Aragua gang must be allowed to appeal their deportations under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. The decision halts the Trump administration's efforts to swiftly remove over 200 individuals suspected of gang affiliation, prompting strong backlash from top White House officials.

Key Details:

Judge James Boasberg ruled that suspected Tren de Aragua members must be granted individual hearings before deportation.

Over 200 Venezuelan nationals have already been detained and deported to a facility in El Salvador under President Trump's orders.

The administration plans to appeal Boasberg's decision and is pushing back on what it sees as judicial overreach into matters of national security.

House Republicans will hold hearings on activist judges presuming to rule the country as unelected presidents, for whatever that's worth.

The House Judiciary Committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, is set to hold hearings next week on "activist judges" issuing nationwide injunctions against the Trump administration's policies. The move comes as President Trump calls for the impeachment of a federal judge who halted his deportation efforts.

Key Details:

The Judiciary Committee's hearing will focus on district court judges blocking Trump's policies through nationwide injunctions.
A bill by Rep. Darrell Issa aims to prevent lower court judges from issuing such injunctions, with a House vote expected soon.
President Trump and several House conservatives have pushed for the impeachment of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who recently blocked a deportation order.
House leadership is cautious about impeachment but is considering Issa's bill as an alternative approach.

This won't stop until Trump declares that only the Supreme Court itself, not lesser courts created by Congress, is a co-equal branch, and that he will therefore not obey any "nationwide injunction" issued by a single leftwing fairy judge, but will only obey (maybe!) the Supreme Court itself after a full hearing and reasoned decision. That is, not Justice Roberts just co-signing a brief district court order.

Happy Tuesday! Are you all Gettin' After It and Gittin' It Done!? I sure am!

(No I'm not, obviously. I can't even make my noon start time.)
