Judge Quickly Expands Block On Alien Enemies Act

The Washington Post reports:

A federal judge barred President Donald Trump on Saturday from using a wartime powers act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members without a hearing, ordering the administration to turn around any planes that had already taken off after the Alien Enemies Act quietly went into effect.

Trump signed a proclamation Friday to deploy the act for the first time since World War II to swiftly remove Venezuelans allegedly involved in the transnational gang known as Tren de Aragua.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge in the District of Columbia, quickly blocked officials from deporting Venezuelans under the proclamation, starting with five men facing imminent deportation and then expanding it later in the day to anyone in custody who might be subject to the proclamation.
