'Hereby declared unlawful': Judge finds 'severe deficiencies' in Trump admin's use of Alien Enemies Act, permanently blocking future deportations
no one should be surprised that the 34-counts convicted felon who got away with jail time should try to continue to break laws, right?
the more the merrier if this moves on up to SCOTUSA federal judge in Texas blocked the Trump administration from summarily deporting migrants in the state under a rarely-used 18th-century wartime power with little or no due process, becoming the latest in a growing line of jurists to hold that President Donald Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) was unlawful.
In a 56-page order, Briones wrote that Trump’s proclamation was “hereby declared unlawful,” reasoning that the administration’s implementation of the executive order was “inconsistent with the AEA” and its statutory requirements.
“Under the AEA, a president cannot unilaterally define what constitutes an invasion, summarily declare that a foreign nation or government has threatened or perpetrated an invasion or predatory incursion of the United States, identify alien enemies subject to detention or removal, and summarily remove them,” the judge wrote.
