Federal judge approves Trump’s use of Alien Enemies Act in deporting Tren de Aragua gang members

A judge appointed by Donald Trump ruled the president can use the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan citizens who are alleged to be members of the Tren de Aragua gang.

The ruling Tuesday from U.S. District Judge Stephanie Haines in Pennsylvania appears to be the first time a federal judge has signed off on Trump’s proclamation calling Tren de Aragua a foreign terrorist organization.

The ruling doesn’t address whether the administration can remove people under other immigration laws, nor does it address whether Trump can invoke the Alien Enemies Act to deport people who simply migrated to the U.S. and who aren’t members of a foreign terrorist organization, Haines wrote.

She also did not weigh in on whether people suspected of being members of other gangs could be removed under the act.

But she did say the Act can be used to remove Venezuelan citizens who are at least 14 years old, who are in the U.S. without legal immigration status, and who are members of Tren de Aragua.

‘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 punishment should fit the crime. And the law should fit the situation. Twenty-one million illegal aliens illegally imported under Biden in four years should by law be removed in less than four years. Best case is existing laws are used to fit the situation, including prosecuting Biden officials for treason. Mass immigration at that scale is an act of war. Biden administration falsely claimed that there was nothing they could do because Congress needed to pass ‘comprehensive immigration laws’. Trump fixed the problem in a matter of days with existing laws. proving what we all already knew — that Biden, Harris and Mayorkas were criminally lying. The public focus on naming Epstein’s clients is appropriate but so also should we focus on naming the traitors who aided and abetted the Biden-approved invasion. ABN
