ACLU asks judge to force the Trump administration to state under oath if it violated his court order

"Plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed to halt deportations under a rarely-used 18th century wartime law invoked by President Donald Trump asked a federal judge Monday to force officials to explain under oath whether they violated his court order by removing more than 200 people from the country after it was issued and celebrating it on social media.

The motion marks another escalation in the battle over Trump’s aggressive opening moves in his second term, several of which have been temporarily halted by judges. Trump’s allies have raged over the holds and suggested he does not have to obey them, and some plaintiffs have said it appears the administration is flouting court orders.

On Saturday night, District Judge James E. Boasberg ordered the administration not to deport anyone in its custody over the newly-invoked Alien Enemies Act, which has only been used three times before in U.S. history, all during congressionally-declared wars. Trump issued a proclamation that the 1798 law was newly in effect due to what he claimed was an invasion by the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua.

Trump’s invocation of the act could allow him to deport any noncitizen he says is associated with the gang, without offering proof or even publicly identifying them. The plaintiffs filed their suit on behalf of several Venezuelans in U.S. custody who feared they’d be falsely accused of being Tren de Aragua members and improperly removed from the country.'

You mean like Democrats did invoking the centuries old Espionage Act they used on Trump? Payback is a bitch isn't it?

The demand that the deportees be returned was not in writing in the order... he gave a verbal order after he learned the planes took off.... so too bad fo da judge....
And now we will impeach his ass....
 
This sort of stuff just keeps causing the voting public to hate Democrats even more. 90% of the people want these South American gangs out of the United States or at Guantanamo Bay. Yet, here are Democrats siding with the gangs. Tells you a lot about the belief system of Democrats that they are cultists who love death and destruction over a civil society. Trump is fighting this and he will win.
Prove those people were from a gang.

I'll wait.
 
All persons in US territory have due process rights. Even you.

Thats why Gitmo was opened: not US territory.
Anyone that's being prosecuted for a crime and is facing prison time, yes. Illegal aliens aren't going to prison. They're being sent home. They have no right to come to The United States.
