US EditionUS appeals court upholds block on Trump deportation of some Venezuelans
- On Wednesday, a split three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld a March 15 order, barring the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador.
- The order, issued by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, temporarily prohibited deportations under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which the Trump administration invoked for the first time since World War II, based on a presidential proclamation that designated the Tren de Aragua gang as an invading force.
- The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on behalf of five Venezuelan noncitizens held in Texas, arguing that the Trump administration's implementation of the Alien Enemies Act violated constitutional due process by not allowing individuals adequate time to challenge their designations as gang members.
- During oral arguments, Judge Patricia Millett questioned the Justice Department's lawyer about the timing of the deportations, while the Trump administration described Boasberg's restraining order as a "massive, unauthorized imposition on the Executives authority to remove dangerous aliens who pose threats to the American people".
- Despite Boasberg's order for planeloads of Venezuelan immigrants to return to the U.S., this did not occur, and as the administration refused to provide additional information about the deportations, Boasberg vowed to determine if the government defied his order, while Trump and his allies considered impeaching Boasberg, prompting Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to state that "impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.
