  6. …On March 15, 2025, #Boasberg issued a TRO barring the admin from transferring a group of Venezuelan immigrants to #ElSalvador under the #AlienEnemiesAct an 18th century #law. After the order was entered, 2 planeloads of immigrants protected by the order departed from the #US on their way to El Salvador, where they were locked up in #CECOT, one of the world’s most violent prisons. The admin said then DHS Secy Kristi Noem was responsible for the transfer decision.

  12. Trump’s threat against Minnesota this week is the latest example of how his administration has considered using arcane laws and legal arguments to enact his agenda.

    In addition to the #InsurrectionAct, Trump officials have talked publicly about #suspending #due #process, a foundational constitutional principle.

    Trump invoked the
    #AlienEnemiesAct last year
    to speed up deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members.

    White House officials considered using it a second time to justify detaining people in Chicago, according to previously unreported Signal messages obtained by the Minnesota Star Tribune.

    The 1798 wartime law,
    designed to combat an invasion or predatory incursion,
    has only been used three times prior to this administration.
    -- The last time was during World War II.

    Opponents have aggressively fought the administration in court over these maneuvers.

    This week, both Minnesota and Illinois filed lawsuits challenging the legality of Trump’s immigration enforcement.

    The Illinois Attorney General’s Office alleged federal agents acted as “occupiers” instead of law enforcement during operations in the state last fall.

    In separate cases, federal judges issued temporary restraining orders in both #Portland and #Chicago #Illinois, stopping the administration from sending National Guard troops into those cities.

    A judge ordered troops out of #California in December, saying it violated the law.

    And another judge has limited the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport people.

    In an interview with the New York Times, #Trump suggested the Insurrection Act could provide a work-around to legal rulings.

    “Look, I’ve been stopped on some things,” he told the newspaper last week.

    “Now, I will say, if I feel it’s important to invoke the Insurrection Act,
    which I have the right to do,
    that’s a different thing,
    because then I have the right to do pretty much what I want to do.
    But I haven’t done that.”

  13. Venezuelans That US Sent to El Salvador Mega-Prison Faced Torture, Sexual Abuse

  14. #LeeGelernt, who argued the case for the #ACLU, said Tuesday: “The #Trump administration’s use of a wartime statute during peacetime to regulate #immigration was rightly shut down by the court. This is a critically important decision reining in the administration’s view that it can simply declare an emergency without any oversight by the courts.”

  15. A 3-judge panel of the #5thCircuit Court of Appeals, one of the most #conservative federal appeals courts in the country, agreed with #ImmigrantRights lawyers & lower court judges who argued the #AlienEnemiesAct of 1798 was not intended to be used against gangs like Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan group #Trump targeted in his March invocation.

  16. 🚨 #Trump cannot use #AlienEnemiesAct to deport members of Venezuelan gang, appeals court rules
