Federal judge rules Trump cannot use Alien Enemies Act to deport Tren de Aragua terrorists: ‘Unlawful’

President Donald Trump Declaration has been issued I'll call on March 15th Alien enemies do it And Tren de Aragua declared to be a “designated foreign terrorist organization,” alongside the Venezuelan Maduro regime, “convicting, attempting and threatening invasions or predatory invasions of the United States.”

“I am a member of the TDA and every Venezuelan citizen in the United States over the age of 14, and declare that any independence or legal permanent resident of the United States is responsible for being arrested, restrained, secured and removed as alien enemies,” Trump added.

Federal judge Domination On Thursday, President Donald Trump called the AEA through a declaration was “illegal” and banned the Trump administration from using it against foreigners in Venezuela in the court's judicial district.

The administration deported at least 137 Venezuelan foreigners under the law on March 15th.

“The declaration does not suggest that they did so through an organized armed attack.”

While initially arguing that “neither the courts nor the parties question the powers and responsibilities of administrative agencies to enforce federal law,” U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. appears to have done just that.

The judge indicated that Trump's March 15 declaration placed adequate responsibility for Tren de Aragua's actions in the United States against the Venezuelan government to eliminate the need to determine whether terrorist gangs represent foreign or government. However, Rodriguez said the activities of terrorist gangs in the United States “does not fall into the plain, ordinary meaning of “invasion” or “predatory invasion” for the purposes of the AEA.”

Though Tren de Aragua terrorists may have entered the country illegally, the judge wrote, “who lived in the United States and engaged in crime, the declaration does not suggest that they did so through organized armed attacks, or that Venezuela threatened or attempted such attacks via TDA members.”

Rodriguez concluded that “historical records make it clear through the declaration that the president's call to the AEA exceeds the scope of the decree, and are contrary to the obvious and normal meaning of the decree's claim.”

A number of courts, including the US Supreme Court, blocked the Trump administration's deportation under the AEA, but Rodriguez said It is reportedly The first judge to reach a final decision on merit.

The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit with the ACLU in Texas to ensure suspicious foreign terrorists are not deported and celebrated the decision.

ACLU Attorney Lee Gelernt I said In a statement, “Parliament never intended to use this 18th century wartime law in this way. This is a very important decision that will prevent more people from being sent to the infamous Cecot prison.”

Reuters It is shown Neither the White House nor the Department of Justice responded to requests for comment.

On Thursday, Rodriguez also allowed Venezuelans targeting deportation under the AEA to proceed with a class action lawsuit against the Trump administration. It has been reported wfin.com.

“The extraordinary circumstances of this case present a compelling justification for exploiting procedures equivalent to class action lawsuits approved in Rule 23,” writes Rodriguez.
