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

Episcopal Church Announces It Violates the Doctrine of their Faith to Help White Refugees

When I first read the headlines on social media claiming the Episcopal Church had announced it was against the doctrine of their faith to help white refugees, I will admit I thought the headlines were clickbait and over blown.  However, then I went to read the actual announcement and press release from the Church….  It’s true.

The Episcopal Church has announced, publicly, they were contacted by the federal government as part of an ongoing contract for refugee resettlement, to assist in the transition of white Afrikaner farmers who are fleeing racial violence and given refugee status by the Trump administration.

Specifically, because of the color of their skin, the Episcopal Church is now saying, “in light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice … we are not able to take this step.”

The Church notes their business model using refugee settlement payments from the United States Government has been disrupted by the Trump administration’s pause on funding, and as a result of their no longer getting paid – in combination with the racial profile of the refugees they are now being asked to assist, they will shut down all refugee settlement efforts.  It is a stunning statement:

The Episcopal Church – […] “Since January, the previously bipartisan U.S. Refugee Admissions Program in which we participate has essentially shut down. Virtually no new refugees have arrived, hundreds of staff in resettlement agencies around the country have been laid off, and funding for resettling refugees who have already arrived has been uncertain. Then, just over two weeks ago, the federal government informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Afrikaners from South Africa whom the U.S. government has classified as refugees.

In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step. Accordingly, we have determined that, by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our refugee resettlement grant agreements with the U.S. federal government.” ~ Rev. Sean W. Rowe, Presiding Bishop, The Episcopal Church

Obviously, if we drop all pretending, the decision of the Church is based on their superseding doctrine of money, which, in this clear example, outweighs their doctrine of faith.

Web Of Illegal Marijuana Grows Tied To Chinese Communist Party Front Group

A group of men charged with running an illegal marijuana farm in rural Maine have extensive ties to a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) organ responsible for intelligence gathering and foreign influence operations, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation found.

Two of the men, who pleaded not guilty, are leaders of the Sijiu Association of New York, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit, which works closely with the New York Chinese Consulate and United Front Work Department (UFWD) — one of Beijing’s main influence and intelligence arms. Chinese government records reveal several Sijiu Association officials belong to UFWD branches, and state-run media reports show the nonprofit has also agreed to fund UFWD projects.

Chinese illegal marijuana grows in the Pine Tree State have taken root within former residential dwellings, recycling facilities, cedar mills, elementary schools and other industrial locations, according to investigative reports by the Maine Wire. Police raids have recovered hundreds of pounds of cultivated marijuana and thousands of cannabis plants within a single location, and sometimes have also led to the discovery of methamphetamines or banned neurotoxins used for fumigation.

“We’ve identified and visited more than 150 illegal Chinese marijuana growing operations throughout the state of Maine,” Steve Robinson, editor-in-chief of the Maine Wire, told the DCNF. “The neighbors are terrified, and legitimate marijuana businesses are collapsing due to the illegal competition.”

SCOTUS swings way left — BLOCKS migrant deportations

The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked Donald Trump from deporting alleged Venezuelan gangsters being held in Texas.

In a brief order made in the early hours of Saturday, the court directed the Trump administration not to remove the Venezuelans held in the Bluebonnet Detention Center ‘until further order of this court.’ 

Two conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, dissented.

The high court acted in an emergency appeal from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) contending that immigration authorities appeared to be moving to restart removals under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The Supreme Court said earlier this month that deportations could proceed only if those about to be removed had a chance to argue their case in court and were given ‘a reasonable time’ to contest their pending removals

Federal judge OKs Trump stopping taxpayer funding of lawyers for migrants

A federal judge has reversed a lower court judge’s decision to force the government to continue supplying illegal migrants with taxpayer-funded lawyers.

Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez Olguin had earlier ruled in Oakland, California, that President Donald Trump was not allowed to stop taxpayer funding for progressive groups that provided legal advice to illegal aliens facing deportation.

The Mexico-born judge issued a temporary restraining order on April 1 that required the administration to restore the funding for 26,000 unaccompanied minors seeking to stay legally in the U.S., the Daily Journal reported.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services quickly appealed Judge Olguin’s ruling. Consequently, on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss in Washington, D.C. reinstated the administration’s pause on funding, the AP reported.
