A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from using an 18th-century law to deport suspected Venezuelan gangbangers in South Texas, ruling that the president’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act is “unlawful. ” In the most forceful ruling against the administration’s use of the 1798 law to date, District Judge Fernando Rodriguez, an appointee of President Trump, issued a permanent injunction against the application of the statute on migrants detained in the Southern District of Texas. The Trump administration’s utilization of the Alien Enemies Act to swiftly deport alleged members of Tren de Aragua – a vicious Venezuelan prison gang – to an El Salvador megaprison exceeded the scope of the wartime law, the judge ruled in a 36-page opinion.
