US EditionSecond judge finds Trump’s use of 18th century wartime act against gang is improper
- Two federal judges, including Trump appointee Fernando Rodriguez Jr. In South Texas and Democratic appointee Alvin Hellerstein in New York, blocked the administration’s use of the 18th century Alien Enemies Act last week.
- The rulings concluded that the administration failed to demonstrate that the United States was experiencing an attack or incursion by a foreign enemy, which is a necessary condition for applying the wartime statute.
- Hellerstein detailed that over 130 migrants had been deported in March to El Salvador’s notorious prison, but stated this criminal matter does not equal an invasion or predatory incursion.
- Hellerstein pointed out that while TdA might be involved in drug trafficking, this is a legal issue rather than an instance of an invasion or hostile attack, highlighting concerns about the Act’s implications for due process.
- These decisions signal judicial resistance to the administration’s fast-paced deportation policy and may lead to significant legal challenges regarding due process protections under Trump’s immigration agenda.

Lozano-Camargo came to the United States from Venezuela as an unaccompanied child. Last month,…
BENCHSL NY Judge Rules That We Are NOT Under Venezuelan Invasion - Above the Law
Hosanna! The great war with Venezuela is over. Bang those pots! Flip a car! Kiss a random stranger WITH CONSENT! Yesterday, Judge Alvin Hellerstein of the Southern District of New York became the second judge in a week to declare that we are not in a war — declared or otherwise — with Venezuela.

Reversal order by another federal judge adds to Trump admin's war with judiciary · American Wire News
Another federal judge ordered a deportation reversal as a Biden-era deal with so-called asylum seekers was given precedent over national security. As sympathies have all but worn out for alleged human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia amid Democrat lawmakers’ taxpayer-funded goodwill tour, corporate media has a new, reportedly gang-tied foreign national to fawn over.
