In a stunning blow to President Donald Trump’s mission to safeguard our great nation, an activist federal judge appointed by former President Obama has blocked a pivotal move to use the Alien Enemies Act for the deportation of Venezuelan nationals.
On Saturday, Chief Judge James E. Boasberg issued a temporary restraining order that halts the Trump administration’s plans to deport thousands of Venezuelan nationals. This action, sanctioned under the Alien Enemies Act, is a legitimate exercise of executive power, underscoring the President’s commitment to national security.
The ruling arose from a lawsuit spearheaded by radical organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Democracy Forward. Their legal challenge, titled J.G.G. v. Trump, aims to dismantle Trump’s decisive enforcement of our immigration laws. They argue, without basis, that using the Alien Enemies Act during peacetime is “unprecedented” and “unlawful.”
This restraining order is a mere temporary delaying tactic, freezing deportations for 14 days, but it signals the beginning of a prolonged legal struggle. If this continues unchecked, it threatens to halt the deportations of criminals and illegal immigrants—an outcome that jeopardizes American safety.
A remote hearing on this critical issue is slated for later today, with a comprehensive in-person hearing scheduled for Monday in Washington, D.C.
President Trump has made his stance crystal clear: America cannot allow itself to be inundated with dangerous elements, particularly from nations plagued by crime, corruption, and socialist chaos. His administration remains steadfast in its plan to send gang members and other criminal aliens to Guantanamo Bay, thus preventing their release into our communities.
The Alien Enemies Act, historically utilized during times of war—like World War II for the detention of German, Italian, and Japanese nationals—was set to expedite the deportation of Venezuelan nationals linked to criminal networks. This emergency measure cuts through the typical bureaucratic delays, bypassing lengthy court hearings and asylum processes.
Yet, this crucial initiative has been predictably thwarted by the activist judiciary.
