The judge temporarily blocks Trump's use of war powers to ward off to Venezuelan gang members

Washignon – On March 15, a federal judge temporarily blocked all deportations that would occur according to President Donald Trump through a little used war law to accelerate the displacement of alleged members of the Venezolan gang tren de Aragua.

Mr. Trump earlier on the alien enemy law from 1798 against the group that the country was confronted with an “invasion” of a criminal organization that was associated with kidnapping, extortion, organized crime and contract murder.

Hours later judge James Boasberg a temporary injunction was provided for 14 days.

Mr. Boasberg said that the law “does not offer the President's proclamation, since the terms invasion, predatory intervention really associated enemy actions that correspond to a nation and the war”.

When the law was achieved, Trump said that members of the gang had “irregular warfare and carried out hostile measures against the United States to destabilize the nation.

The law, which was only used in times of war, could enable the president to avoid the appropriate procedural rights of migrants that are classified as threats and quickly deported.

While the proclamation was published by the White House on March 15, the wording indicates that Mr. Trump signed it on March 14th.

According to Mr. Trump's proclamation, all Venezuelan citizens are 14 years or older, who are determined as members of the gang, within the United States and not naturalized or lawfully constant inhabitants of the country, “obliged,” arrested, held back, secured and removed as foreign enemies “.

The alien enemy law is best known for justifying internment camps for people of Japanese, German and Italian descent during the Second World War.

Civil rights groups and some democrats have criticized the idea of ​​reviving them to fuel the mass deportation, and the move will probably trigger legal challenges.

The Trump administration in February described Tren de Aragua, the Sinaloa cartel and six other criminal groups as global terrorist organizations.

The guideline of March 14 said that Tren de Aragua “involved a mass migration to the United States to the United States and continues to hike masses in order to promote their goals to damage the citizens of the United States”.

Laws and criticism

Mr. Trump made the gang's threat to a regular characteristic of his campaign speeches as proof of what he described as a spike in “migrant crimes”. Numerous studies show that immigrants do not commit crimes for higher rates than local Americans.

Immigration lawyers and Democrats have torn the decision of Mr. Trump.

“Calling the Experience Act, an extraordinary war power with a shameful story to arbitrarily detain and deport immigrants, is bigott, dangerous and deeply unfair,” said the Attorney General of New York, Letitia James.

Mr. William Vasquez, an immigration lawyer in North Carolina, ceased on social media that this is the first time that the law was “applied against migrants from a country in which the United States is not at war”.

Mr. Trump's lawsuit, after Mr. Boasberg used to temporarily prevent the US government from deporting five Venezuelans after two non-profit groups sued the legend of the law, it would be illegal because they only “called a power in a war and only applies to warlike actions”.

The court provided a temporary injunction and held the government from deporting it for 14 days. The American Civil Liberties Union, one of the groups who received the lawsuit, said the Venezolans are looking for asylum and were incorrectly identified as part of Tren de Aragua.

The White House did not immediately answer a request for comments. Court files show that the government has appealed the judge's temporary injunction.

The ACLU and another non -profit group, Democracy Forward, have asked that the temporary injunction will be expanded to be expanded in the risk of a distance according to the law.

Mr. Trump, a Republican, returned to the White House on January 20 to deport millions of immigrants in the United States. But Mr. Trump's initial deportations have remained behind those of his democratic predecessor Joe Biden, who was exposed to a high level of illegal immigration and quickly deported many youngest boundary cruisers.

Mr. Trump has taken a number of measures to increase the enforcement of immigration, to send additional troops to the border between the USA and Mexico and re -assign the federal agents in order to track down the immigration.

But his government had to deal with supported immigration courts and limited adhesive areas. Reuters
