Trump invokes Enemy Alien Act for first time since WWII. Judge blocks it.

Looking to the past all the time gets you hit in the back of the head by the future. There is no ‘this time we get our way’. That’s a recipe for chaos every four years.

DEI is anti-white racism. Time to end that. There is nothing about "the future" that means we can't do that.

For one example.

DEI just means no brown people or women. It’s usually espoused by those who can’t stand the competition.

Your refusal to be honest about what it is, is noted.

My point stands. REmoving that is a return to a time of NOT anti-white discrimination.

That's good.

You institutionalize discrimination, if every instance of a brown person or a woman having an important job is DEI. No wonder AOC and Crockett are so hated by the right, they’re brown AND women and MAGA”men” can’t deal.

Your refusal to be honest about what dei is, is irrelevant.

If all you are going to do is cry racist, that is not a discussion.

Keep it up. This is why you lost and why we will show you no mercy.

Why not call a spade a spade? MAGA yells DEI whenever they see someone they don’t like, regardless of qualifications.

MAGA is a pretty general term. One guy on the internet, shotting his mouth off, would prove that "correct".


In reality our anti-dei postion is that we don't want prominority discrimination against white (males).

That is a very reasonable position. It would be nice if you would address it.

EVERY lefty I have heard "discuss" this, refuses to actually address our real position.

So is DEI. It’s the new n-word.

The Enemies Alien Act doesn't allow for judicial review. So Trump can tell Boasberg to pound sand.

 

[berg80]

Should the Alien Enemy Act be the appropriate vehicle here, or is this just another overreach by Trump?

It's overreach since the Act can only be invoked at a time of war.

Invoking it can.........and has.

Too bad, your friends are gone now.

Well, duh.

Nope, watch the Steve Miller video again.

 

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,

1. If the supreme court holds up the wanker judges hault, then its civil war time, the courts signed their doom.
2. Pulling the wings off a sitting President isn't cool.
3. Its an act of WAR!!!!!

It's not getting rid of the gang members that should warrant a legal pause, it is the means under which deporting them is attempted. Should the Alien Enemy Act be the appropriate vehicle here, or is this just another overreach by Trump? Can any foreign national deemed a threat be deported under a broad interpretation of this? The legal aspect of this will now be under scrutiny. This to me seems more designed to win public approval in Trump executive actions, knowing that arguing in favor of these alleged gang members will be unpopular.

I'm guessing this is all in the Project 2025 handbook.





A federal judge barred President Donald Trump on Saturday from using a wartime powers act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members without a hearing, ordering the administration to turn around any planes that had already taken off after the Alien Enemies Act quietly went into effect.

Trump signed a proclamation Friday to deploy the Alien Enemies Act of 1789 for the first time since World War II to swiftly remove Venezuelans allegedly involved in the transnational gang known as Tren de Aragua. The act has been used only three times before to bar citizens of hostile enemy governments from the United States, and only during a declared war. The White House kept the proclamation under wraps until after advocates for immigrants sued Saturday, fearing he was already sweeping immigrants out of the country.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed immigration officials had “arrested nearly 300 Tren de Aragua terrorists” over the weekend and sent them to El Salvador. El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said that 238 members of the transnational Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and 23 members of the Salvadoran MS-13 gang had already arrived in that country and were in his custody, with a social media post responding to the judge’s ruling that said “Oopsie, too late,” followed by a laughing emoji.

Bukele shared video showing the prisoners arriving at the airport, surrounded by heavily armed, camouflage-clad men. Bukele said they were taken to a “Terrorism Confinement Center,” where the video showed that masked officers then forced the men to their knees, shaved their heads and marched them in white shirts and shorts into a cell block. Bukele said the inmates would go into forced labor for at least a year, possibly more, and that the “United States will pay a very low fee for them.”

“Thank you for your assistance and friendship, President Bukele,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio replied on X.

It was not immediately clear whether the men were deported under the act, but Trump has declared both gangs “foreign terrorist organizations”and prepared to use the act to summarily remove them without a hearing.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge in the District of Columbia, quickly blocked officials from deporting Venezuelans on Saturday under the act, though he said in court that he did not know until that afternoon that it had even been issued, starting with five men facing imminent deportation and then expanding it later in the day to anyone in custody who might be subject to the proclamation.

As he issued his ruling, the judge said he heard that “flights are actively departing” and ordered the Trump administration to immediately halt the removals and return to the United States any flights that were in the air.

He said the immigrants — who could be as young as 14, under the proclamation — clearly face irreparable harm, “given that these folks will be deported and many or the vast majority to prisons in other countries or sent back to Venezuela, where they face persecution, or worse.”

WaPo

The Judge has no standing whatsoever to make these determinations!

None!

I got to hand it to those liberal judges, they keep trying.

Little more than a judicial coup

 

[Billiejeens]

they are judges also.

They are justices.

 

[Correll]

No, it's not. THat's dumb.
