Appeals court rules Trump cannot use Alien Enemies Act to deport members of Venezuelan gang
The 5th Circuit Court ruled the Alien Enemies Act does not apply as no invasion or predatory incursion by the Venezuelan gang was found, blocking rapid deportations under this law.
- A federal appeals court blocked President Donald Trump from deporting members of the Tren de Aragua gang, stating there was no evidence of an 'invasion' or 'predatory incursion' by a foreign power.
- The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that Trump's claims about a national emergency were not legally supported, emphasizing that the injunction applies only to the Alien Enemies Act.
- The court found that Trump's characterization of the migrants as part of an invasion was unsupported, noting that a country's encouragement of illegal entry does not equate to an invasion.
- The decision clarified that interpreting the terms of the Alien Enemies Act, particularly regarding wartime actions, requires specific military definitions, which were not met in this case.
