Federal Judge Upholds Trump's Power to Use the Alien Enemies Act to Deport Tren de Aragua Gang Members

It's something.

A federal judge on Tuesday said the Trump administration can invoke the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) to deport criminal illegal immigrant members of the Venezuelan Tren De Aragua gang, but that it has not given adequate prior notice to those subject to removal, before those deportations can take place, which would allow possible due process and habeas legal challenges.

The 43-page ruling by U.S. District Judge Stephanie Haines, a Trump appointee, conflicts with other rulings challenging the administration's deportation efforts.

"Having done its job, the Court now leaves it to the Political Branches of the government, and ultimately to the people who elect those individuals, to decide whether the laws and those executing them continue to reflect their will," Haines wrote.

The decision is here.

AOC threatened ICE and DHS, threatening some unspecified payback if they "touched" the insurrectionists that used their Obese Woman Privilege to bowl their fat bodies into the ICE detention facility.

A DHS official, Tricia McLaughlin, wants to know which of the rapists and terrorists and gang members and killers AOC wants released back into the American heartland.
