A three-judge panel from the D.C. Circuit #CourtOfAppeals has denied the #WhiteHouse's push to restart #deportations under a rarely used wartime authority.

By a vote of 2 to 1, the judges on Wednesday left in place a lower court order that temporarily blocked the #Trump administration from quickly deporting alleged #Venezuelan gang members under the #AlienEnemiesAct of 1798.

#Trump admin doesn't need to give notice to people it wants to deport, #DOJ argues

A federal appeals court has finished hearing arguments over whether to lift a judge’s #TRO against Trump’s use of a wartime authority to quickly deport alleged members of a #Venezuelan gang.

As the hearing came to a close, a DOJ atty told the court that he didn’t think the govt needed to give notice to individuals it wants to summarily remove under the #AlienEnemiesAct.

In a statement, #DOJ ofcls said 3 men had been declared “alien enemies” & would be sent to Chile to face #criminal charges there. The men are Venezuelan citizens, though one is also a citizen of Ecuador & another a citizen of Colombia.

Today “…the US
Court of Appeals [in DC]…will hear arguments on whether to stay a temporary restraining order…which is currently barring summary removals of alleged members of Tren de Aragua, a #Venezuelan criminal gang, under the #AlienEnemiesAct of 1798…While the government’s compliance or noncompliance with Boasberg’s oral order is…a live issue…today’s appellate court hearing is about…whether #Boasberg had jurisdiction to issue that order....”

WTF?!

“President Trump is once again raising eyebrows with his claim on Friday that he didn’t actually sign a proclamation invoking the arcane 1778 wartime law, which his administration leaned on to carry out last weekend’s night flight deportation of alleged #Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador…”

The Bulwark’s Sam Stein interviewed #immigration atty Lindsay Toczylowski to discuss her client, a #LGBTQ #Venezuelan #asylum seeker, who disappeared after being detained by #ICE.

After the interview, Toczylowski received confirmation from the US government that her client was deported to El Salvador as part of the #AlienEnemiesAct sweep. Toczylowski says her client is not a Tren deAragua member & that ICE misidentified his tatoos.

"James E. Boasberg, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., said he would issue a temporary order blocking the government from deporting any immigrants under the #law."

"In a hastily scheduled hearing, he said he did not believe the law offered grounds for the president’s action, and he ordered any flights that had departed with #Venezuelan immigrants under the order to return to the #US 'however that’s accomplished — whether turning around the plane or not.'"

“That is based on a mountain of #racist statements made by both her & Pres Trump against #Venezuelan #refugees going back now for several years, calling them animals, calling them dirtbags, falsely claiming that they are people who are let out of prisons & let out of mental institutions & just broad, completely false statements that just restate racist tropes,” said Ahilan Arulanantham, one of the lawyers on the case & co-director of the Center for #Immigration #Law & Policy at the UCLA Law.

"'They used us,' the #Venezuelan activist Adelys Ferro told NPR. “During the campaign, the elected officials from the #Republican Party, they told us he was not going to touch #documented people. They said, ‘No, it is with #undocumented people.' In fact, both #Trump and Vice President #JDVance said they wanted to deport people legally allowed in the country. Some voters just convinced themselves their own groups wouldn’t become targets."
