First on FOX: A group of Republican state attorney generals submitted an Amicus summary Tuesday afternoon to the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia, urging the circuit court to overturn Trump from forcing Trump to deport Tren de Lagua members, saying “judices are fundamentally in favor of foreign terrorist organizations surrounding the public safety of American citizens.”
Advocacy court documents led by South Carolina and Virginia Attorney Generals Alan Wilson and Jason Miyarez are concerned that the judge's order issued by US District Judge James Boasberg will contribute to crimes committed by violent, illegal immigrants in the state.
“When judges intervene unilaterally and issue temporary restraint orders on national injunctions, essentially when the president prohibits the state from performing one function that he cannot truly do himself, it undermines our ability to better protect our citizens,” Wilson told Fox News Digital.

“IIn this particular case, judges are coloring outside the legal policy of their authority,” Wilson said in an interview Tuesday.
“The judges are essentially supporting foreign terrorist organizations more than public safety for American citizens,” Wilson added.
Miyarez added that Trump acted entirely within his constitutional and legal authority when members of the immigrant gang deported the plane allegedly returning to El Salvador, as requested by Judge James E. Boasberg. Trump's Justice Department cited the Foreign Enemy Act – which gave him the ability to deport illegal immigrants without court prisons and filed an emergency petition with the DC Court of Appeals.
“TDA is a violent transnational criminal organization responsible for violent crime across the United States,” Miyares said. “The law is clear, and so is our position.”

In his support summary of Trump's appeal, Wilson told Charleston that there have been cases in which several Tren de Aragua gang members have been arrested. When he visited the tropical border in El Paso, Texas last August, Wilson said he met with DEA agents, Texas Public Sheriffs and Border Patrol, who showed the country's heat map. At the time, South Carolina had no known Tren de Aragua members. However, as Wilson points out in his summary, by early February, several gang members had been arrested in the state. “Only six or seven months ago, they weren't here, and now they are,” Wilson said.
