Dampers for the US government
Judge stops Trump’s deportations based on the war law
Members of foreign cartels may no longer be deported by the Donald Trump government without procedures, a federal judge judged. The government should contest this.
Defeat for US President Donald Trump in court: The deportation presumably foreign cartel members from the United States based on a controversial war law from the 18th century is illegal in the opinion of a federal judge. The US government does not have the right to arrange immigrants, citing the law and bring them out of the country, judge Fernando Rodriguez in the US state of Texas.
In doing so, he stopped the corresponding deportations – but Trump’s government should contest the judgment. The judge was appointed the post by Trump during his first term.
Donald Trump is based on controversial law from 1798
The US government has deported numerous Venezuelans to the notorious Cecot high-security prison in the Central American El Salvador and accused them of being members of the criminal organization Tren de Aragua. The Venezuelan government rejected this. The Tren de Aragua is a Venezuelan gang that is involved in drug trafficking, protection and human trafficking. Trump declared the gang to a foreign terrorist organization. He argues that Tren de Aragua exercises “irregular warfare” against the US territory.
In order to justify the deportations to prison, the Trump government relies on a controversial and hardly used law from 1798: The “Alien Enemies Act” allows the president to have people in war periods or at an invasion of “enemy nations” without having regularly detained and deported. The law was applied during the First and Second World War, especially for internment for Germans and Japanese.
Possible appeal procedure with good chance of success
Trump’s procedure had followed a number of lawsuits. The deportations were partially suspended-the highest US court also concluded that Trump should not be deported for the time being, citing the War Act. However, the decisions of the courts were not in terms of content – it was about technical questions. However, the decision of the judge Fernando Rodriguez is the first to argue in terms of content – and thus focus on the lawful application of the law.
That makes the verdict from Texas so special. However, the case in the next instance is likely to land before a federal state court in New Orleans in the state of Louisiana. It is one of the most conservative courts in the country. If Trump’s government is in appeal, she has a good chance of succeeding there.
