On Saturday, a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to stop using a mysterious wartime law to deport the Venezuelan without a hearing, saying that any planes left the United States with immigrants under the law to return.
As of Sunday morning on Sunday, it was not clear whether any planes had left or returned, or whether the Trump administration would follow the judge’s order.
On Saturday, the administration published an executive order calling for law, Foreign enemies Law in 1798To target members of Venezuelan gangs in the United States.
But shortly after the announcement, James E Boasberg, the federal judge in Washington, DC, said he would issue a temporary matter preventing the government from deporting any immigrants under the law.
In a hurried hearing, he said he did not believe that the law provided reasons for the president’s work, and he ordered any flights that had left with Venezuelan immigrants under the executive order to return to the United States. “However, it was accomplished – whether it was about the plane or not.”
“This is something you need to make sure to comply with him immediately,” he directed the government.
Li Gilrrent, the lawyer of the American Civil Liberties Union, who filed a lawsuit against the executive order, said in an interview after the session he believed that two flights “in the air” on Saturday evening.
During the session, Judge Pasperj said that he was ordering the government to change flights, “the information that the government did not want, that flights are actively leaving.”
The lawyer, who represents the government, told the judge that he had not had many details to participate and that describing the operational details would raise “national security issues.”
After the session, the government submitted an appeal. in Late statement On Saturday, Prosecutor Bam Bondi said that the judge put “terrorists on the safety of the Americans” and “the public and the enforcement of the law.”
She added: “The Ministry of Justice is unknown in its efforts to work with the White House, the Ministry of Internal Security, and all our partners to stop this invasion and make America safe again.”
The president, dated Friday, announces that at least 14 -year -old Venezuelan, in the United States without permission and part of the Tren De Aragua gang “is subject to relying on it, restricting, securing and removing it.”
The Law of Foreign Enemies allows a brief deportation of people from countries in war with the United States. The law, which was famous for the arrest of the Japanese Americans during World War II, was called three times in the history of the United States – during the 1812 war, the First World War and the Second World War – According to the Brennan Center for JusticeOrganization for Law and Policies.
Hours before the White House published its announcement, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on behalf of five Venezuelan men who seek to prevent the president from calling the law. Mr. Gilrrent said that all the five men were accused of links with Treen de Aragua, but they deny that they are in the gang. The lawsuit said that one of the men was arrested, because the immigration officer “believed” he was a member of Train de Aragua because of the tattoo.
Judge Boasberg initially issued a limited order on Saturday to prevent the government from deporting the five men.
The Trump administration immediately made an appeal from the matter, and the American Civil Liberties Union asked the judge to expand his order to apply to all migrants at risk of deportation under the law of foreign enemies. At the hearing on Saturday evening, Judge Boasberg said that he would issue a broader matter submitting to all “non -employees in the American nursery.”
In the lawsuit, the American Civil Liberties’ Lawyers wrote that the Venezuelan believed that they faced an immediate danger to deportation. The lawsuit said: “The government’s declaration will allow agents to place non -musicians on aircraft immediately,” adding that the law “applies only to war procedures” and “it cannot be used here against the citizens of a country – Venezuela – who are not in war.”
The judge agreed, saying that he believed that the conditions of “invasion” and “predatory incursion” in the law “are really related to the hostile actions committed by the enemy countries.
The White House and the Ministry of Internal Security, which runs the country’s immigration system and was named in the lawsuit, immediately did not respond to the suspension requests.
Noah Feldman, a professor of constitutional law at Harvard University, said that the fate of the case, which can eventually end in the Supreme Court, will depend on “the respect of the courts that the courts pay for the president’s decision to have a threatening incursion.” Professor Feldman added that the judges would have to take this design “without much precedent.”
President Trump, who campaign last year, promised a promise to start the largest deportation in the history of the United States, to the expatriates from the unauthorized immigrants to be “invading.” One of the first Executive orders After returning to the White House, he released “The Protection of the American People from the invasion.”
It seems that his declaration calling for the law of foreign enemies is tightly focused on Treen de Aragoa, a gang that came out of the Venezuelan prison and grew to become a criminal organization that focuses on sex trafficking, drug smuggling and human smuggling.
But if the Trump administration’s interpretation of the law is supported in the end, it can enable the administration to remove other migrants between the ages of 14 years or older without a court hearing. This would enable the extraordinary action of detention, and the detention and deportation of migrant minors without the legal procedures granted to immigrants for decades.
“A terrible day in the history of the nation, when the president published that he was seeking to summon the extraordinary war authorities in the absence of war or conquest,” said Sky Periman, head of the attacking democracy group, a legal group that joined the American Civil Liberties Union in presenting the challenge to the executive order, in a statement.
