Federal Judge temporarily blocks President Trump from invoking Alien Enemies Act
James Boasberg, US District Judge, ordered the Trump Administration to stop all removals of specific illegal aliens. Airplanes in the air, transporting these illegal aliens out of the US, were ordered to be turned around and return to the United States. Boasberg called for his order to be complied with immediately. He insisted that a brief delay in these removals would not harm the government.
From New York Post:
“Any plane containing these folks that is going to take off or is in the air needs to be returned to the United States however that is accomplished,” Boasberg reportedly wrote.
“Make sure it’s complied with immediately.”
The temporary ruling will put a 14-day restraining order on use of the wartime act, which the Trump administration hopes to use to deport any migrant it identifies as a gang member without following normal criminal and immigration channels.
A new hearing has been scheduled for Friday as a pause will be put in place for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act.
“I do not believe I can wait any longer and am required to act,” Boasber said during a hearing Saturday night.
“A brief delay in their removal does not cause the government any harm,” he said, noting that the detainees will remain in government custody.
Boasberg’s ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and Democracy Forward challenging the removal of five Venezuelan men under the centuries-old law — which was reportedly signed on Friday.
Before the early evening ruling blocking the use of the act, an emergency hearing was held Saturday morning. At it the judge barred the removal of the five migrants named in the legal challenge, which Trump’s administration has already appealed.

Why does this keep happening?
Why are the Drats so good at lawfare, while the Republitards take the hits helplessly!
Why do so many judges hate this nation, and the Constitution by which it is supposed to be governed?
Drats truly are the domestic enemies we took oaths to defend against.
The left wants criminal illegals (and illegals in general) to stay. They want the systematic destruction of the country to continue as planned without further interference.
This judge is a fucking idiot… probably bought and paid for.
Find out if the judge has any relatives that might be on the wrong side of the law, then lock them in the same cell as these outstanding wanna be terrorists.
Casual dress day for a drone strike.
Update.
Judge ye not lest ye be judged by knot.
Would that be a thirteen (13) knot judgement, ‘beans? Would give a whole new meaning to the term…”The Hanging Judge”? Roy Bean…grins.
Judge Bean’s robe was made by Carhartt.
I thought challengers requesting a TRO had to put up a security deposit to cover the cost of trial. If there TRO does not win. To prevent frivolous lawsuits against the government.
How many times were we in an undeclared war that this act should’ve been used? Many, many times!
Since at LEAST 2001…
The Dems just can’t make it any more obvious can they? They effing LOVE criminals…I don’t mean have a crush or are enamored with criminals. I mean they FUCKING love criminals especially if they’re foreign nationals that belong to murderous gangs. Have you ever in your life seen a Dem give a hoot-in-hell about anyone that isn’t member of a murderous foreign gang that isn’t giving them money? They don’t even hide it anymore.
Change demographics with tons of sh*tbag third-worlders and they’ll always vote for leftist Free Sh*t politicians.
Seems LBJ had similar comments about a particular demographic.. if only someone could recall the actual words, and maybe use it as a campaign commercial against the once and future slaveholders…
The judge has made his ruling, now let’s see him enforce it.
Phuck these judges.
At least, impeach them and make them wear Dan Rather t-shirts in front of the world.
Judge Douche Bag needs have a bus load of Tren de Agua or however you spell their name delivered to his driveway. A landscaping crew, of sorts.
They would probably be welcomed until they trimmed his wife’s shrubbery.
That judge is trying to interfere with the operation of the Executive Branch. He’s way out of line, as any judge is who does this. They do not have the authority to do so.
It appears neither Trump nor the pilots listened.

I’m thinkin’ that if these judges were around in early 1942 they would have issued an order recalling the Doolittle Raid.
