The decision from U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez, Jr., a Trump appointee, is the latest sharp rebuke to one of Trump’s most aggressive and high-profile efforts to quickly carry out deportations with little or no due process.
These retards keep spewing due process like they need a court appearance for due process to be achieved. It only means they get treated fairly under the law, which can be as simple as “we can prove this person is currently here illegally, have the documents filed, and now we’re deporting them”, this magically is how deportations occurred before Trump, Obama deported over 3 million illegal immigrants with nary a peep of “due process”.
Rodriguez said Trump had improperly invoked the law — which gives the president the power to quickly expel nationals of invading countries — to target alleged members of a Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua.
Rodriguez didn’t bother reading what Madison considered an invading force. Pirates, bandits, and brigands all were considered an expellable “invading force”. But it’s 2025 so fuck the founding fathers right?
The Alien Enemies Act applies only when the country is facing an armed, organized attack, Rodriguez ruled. Trump’s claims about Tren de Aragua’s activities in the United States fall short of that bar, the judge added.
Which is literally happening, how fascinating he actually admitted that it does apply but I bet he said Tren de Aragua “was just an idea”. Leftists will argue semantics on “organized” because they know it’s a malleable term.
“The Proclamation exceeds the scope of the statute and, as a result, is unlawful,” Rodriguez concluded. “[Administration officials] do not possess the lawful authority under the AEA, and based on the Proclamation, to detain Venezuelan aliens, transfer them within the United States, or remove them from the country.”
It doesn’t, a judge making proclamations about at best an argument over what constitutes “organized” is why legislation from the bench was so effective when the Warren court started it and has continued since. At this point the judiciary needs to be kneecapped with extreme prejudice until they stop pretending they are arbiters of the constitution.

TDA are the ones that took over that entire apartment complex with guns, aren't they? the ones the mayor and dems said didn't happen until they couldn't say that anymore
Yep, not to mention the numerous Americans shot or macheted to death by foreign gangs. They’re armed, they’re organized, and democrats want them to stay that way.
By this logic it wouldnt have been legal to expel any members of the taliban before they took over afghanistan because it wouldnt have counted as organized? We cant deport them as invaders unless a government declares a war and claims the invaders?
and obviously at that point you shouldnt be deporting, youre just killing if you have any sense

Elected officials should always be forced to live in the bottom quartile of their jurisdiction. Make 'em live in that apartment building.

By this logic it would have been illegal to deport Al qaeda
