Overview

Infowars·3M·FAQ
Judge Boasberg ordered a halt due to concerns raised by human rights groups that Venezuelan nationals with legitimate asylum claims might be deported despite having no connection to the Tren de Aragua gang.
The Trump administration argued that the planes had already taken off before the written order was issued, and thus they did not violate any court order.
The conflict could lead to a Supreme Court case, potentially affecting the authority of lower-level federal judges and the balance between the executive and judicial branches.
The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 is a wartime authority that allows the president to deport aliens deemed enemies. In this case, it was invoked to deport members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
