Many in the media would like to believe that President Donald Trump has negotiated an obscure law for wrongly deport Violent members of a terrorist gang known as Tren de Aragua (TDA).
In reality, the law is neither unclear nor wrongly used.
The Alien Enemies Act (AEA) was adopted by the congress and signed by law In 1798. It was well established, has never been withdrawn and was assessed several times by the courts. Four different presidents have invoked it, three of them Democrats in the 20th century. Moreover, the law is not limited to authority in wartime, as some claim. Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman used the act well after both world wars were over.
‘Deportation flights have begun’ as Trump ‘strong and clear “message, says the White House
The AEA allows a president to Arrest and removal Without a hearing of “alien enemies” when there is a declared war or Every “predatory raid” has tried, tried or threatened against the United States. A predatory raid is widely defined as access to the US for purposes that are contrary to the interests or laws of the nation. Language gives a president a broad estimate in his core obligation to protect the safety and safety of citizens.
In 1948, the American Supreme Court Truman’s use confirmed the AEA and ruled that the law itself was constitutional (Ludecke v. Watkins, 33 US 160). It is important that the Supreme Court stated that the decision of a president excludes the judicial assessment of the removal order under the law. ” In other words, a judge cannot reconsider the president. The court explained: “The nature of the power of the president to order the removal of all enemy aliens rejects the idea that courts can pass judgment on the exercise of his discretion.”
The pronunciation of the Supreme Court embraced what the ‘political demand doctrine’ is called. That is, the federal courts may not intervene in presidential decision -making that is inherent in nature, such as the behavior of Foreign Affairs and National Security. By analogy, we do not allow judges to stop drone attacks or to close intelligence edits.
This brings us to the events of the past days. On Friday, President Trump called on the Alien Enemies Act under the “predatory raid” provision. About 260 illegal aliens were immediately deported to El Salvador, many of them under the authority of the AEA. They include suspected murderers, rapists and other violent criminals who are involved in abductions, extortion and people, drugs and weapons trade.
A considerable number of expanded members were well -known members of TREN The Aragua, which is officially designated as a foreign terrorist organization. According to the White House, “they have infiltrated the US illegally and undertake irregular warfare and take hostile actions against the United States.” Proof shows that they are concerned with narco-terrorism while they are active abroad, the Nicholas Maduro regime of Venezuela.
Even before Trump announced his proclamationLawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sprinted to a federal district juditor in Washington DC in what looks like a classic case of “Shopping Forum” – choosing a preferred judge in a favorable location. Predictable, judge James Boasberg, an Obama -appointed, a temporarily limiting order (TRO)) has issued in an attempt to block Trump’s actions.
There are various disturbing aspects of the Boasberg guideline. First he acted without the effort to hear from the government, so that the Trump administration was taken away from a chance to respond. Secondly, the five claimants mentioned were held in the petition of the ACLU TDA -Kend members in Texas, where a DC judge in Washington has no jurisdiction. Thirdly, the exclusive remedy for a party that disputes the AEA is a Habeas Corpus request, not a temporary restrictive order. Fourth, the judge magically transformed the entire case into a Class Action and extended his street ban to all non-citizens who can be influenced by Trump’s call from the AEA.
Finally, Boasberg announced that he wanted aircraft to wear TDA terrorists to turn into the air and curiously returning to the US, his demand for return flight was not included in Boasberg’s last tro written. He probably realized that no judge has the power to give an order to kill flights outside the American soil and the airspace. But his willingness to ban such a lawless desire is a window on the thinking of an activist judge whose own political views or personal animus can dictate his judicial decision instead of the law.
On behalf of the president, the Ministry of Justice Looking for a stay in anticipation of an assessment by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. Depending on the ruling of the Midden -Hof, the case could end again in the hands of the Supreme Court.

Judge Boasberg reportedly stated that the Alien Enemies Act does not “provide a basis for the President’s proclamation, in view of the fact that the conditions for invasion, predatory invasion really relates to hostile acts committed by a nation and proportional to war”. If true, that comment can only be described as a hasty judgment that is completely devoid of knowledge or relevant information, because no fair hearing was held before he has published his TO. Boasberg must object to themselves because they accept facts that are not as evidence.
Tired by violent immigrant crime, the American people are considerably in favor of deportations. They expressed their desire at the polls. Does a serious person believe that dangerous foreign gangs such as TREN The Aragua who have terrorized innocent victims must stay here? President Trump uses every tool that offers the law to set out enemy alien beings that pose a constant threat.

More than two centuries ago, the congress recognized such a danger well. That is precisely the reason why it has taken a broad law that grants the president the only authority to deport enemy alien beings. 150 years later, the Supreme Court confirmed that Statute then said: “This Alien Enemy Act remained the law of the country, almost unchanged since 1798.”
Lower judges are obliged to follow the precedent of the Supreme Court. Based on that, the steep decision of Judge Boasberg is a matter of right.
