Judge Blocks Trump’s Use of Wartime Act for Deportations

President Trump invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport five Venezuelan nationals, citing their affiliation with the designated terrorist organization Tren de Aragua. This action, immediately challenged by the ACLU and Democracy Forward, was temporarily blocked by a federal judge who issued a 14-day restraining order. The lawsuit argues the act’s wartime application is inappropriate during peacetime and violates established immigration procedures. The judge’s order maintains the status quo pending a full hearing.

Alien Enemies Act Invoked Against Venezuelan Gang: Legal Challenge Looms

This proclamation declares that the Tren de Aragua (TdA), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, is perpetrating an invasion of the United States, engaging in hostile actions and irregular warfare. Leveraging the Alien Enemies Act, the President orders the apprehension, detention, and removal of all Venezuelan TdA members over 14 residing in the U.S. who are not naturalized citizens or lawful permanent residents. The Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security are directed to execute this action, seizing relevant property as necessary. This action is justified by the threat posed to national security and public safety.
