The judges took actions after civil rights lawyers sought to protect five men identified by the government as belonging to the Tren de Aragua gang, a claim their lawyers dispute. But the judges said some others in their judicial districts similarly situated would also be protected from deportations relying on the Alien Enemies Act.
The judicial moves were the first to occur after the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled the administration can resume deportations, but deportees must be afforded some due process before they are flown away, including reasonable time to argue to a judge that they should not be deported.
The rulings did not address the constitutionality of the act. The American Civil Liberties Union is asking the judge in Texas to decide on whether it is lawful to use the Alien Enemies Act.
or what? theyve already proven ‘lawful’ means nothing to them. declare it illegal all you want, it doesnt mean it wont happen anyway
Yep, until they toss these idiots in jail, they’ll keep doing whatever they want because they think they’re above the law.
They wont tho. It’s up to Americans, but since people have to go to work to feed their kids, that’s good enough reason to give away their futures to these psychopaths. “We can’t rise up because if I get arrested my kids can’t eat” crowd will be the first anti-MAGA’s to report on other anti-MAGA’s to protect themselves from MAGA, so either Americans have to capture these oligarchs themselves or continue holding signs above some sidewalk until they’re arrested for barely attempting to make a difference. Or just admit to themselves they’d prefer fascism over a little bit of discomfort.
