US Edition5th Circuit Weighs Trump’s Use of Alien Enemies Act to Carry Out Deportations
TEXAS AND NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA, UNITED STATES, JUL 1 – The 5th Circuit Court weighs the legality of using a 227-year-old wartime law to deport 137 alleged Venezuelan gang members amid ongoing legal challenges.
- On June 30, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments on Trump’s use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport Tren de Aragua members, with judges appearing skeptical.
- In March, Trump declared Tren de Aragua a terrorist group and invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport over 200 members to El Salvador’s CECOT prison, sparking legal challenges.
- More than 200 detainees were flown to a Salvadoran prison in March, with judicial scrutiny over the invasion trigger used for deportations.
- Following the Supreme Court’s April order, detainees have seven days to contest gang membership, ensuring limited due process protections amid ongoing litigation.
- If the Fifth Circuit rules against the ACLU, Trump could deploy the Alien Enemies Act nationwide, potentially influencing immigration enforcement broadly, pending Supreme Court review.
