Federal Judge Freezes Trumpster’s Deportation Flights

That case has nothing to do with this case. Trump is trying to use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport these folks. That law only applies in the case of a declared war by Congress, and then only to the nationality we are at war with. It is well settled law. I understand Trump's desperation as Joe Biden deported more people in his first month of office than Trump did. And he blew through the DHS's entire budget. If Biden's immigration policy was such a failure how come you are still swallowing for Trump who has spent a lot more money but didn't do as well as Biden?

Tren de aragua is a terrororist organization and thre US is at war with them.  There were no terror organizations in 1798 so this is new ground.  They need to be deported.

Joe Biden deported more people in his first month of office than Trump did

That is correct only if the democrats count the people that were turned away at the border.  At that time there were almost 200.000 people coming across per month.  There are now less than 10,000.  That is a President Trump success and President Trump is deporting criminals which Mark seems to think is wrong.

It is legally and practically impossible for a country to be at war with a terrorist organization. We may use military force against them, but it won't be a war.

Presidents don't get to say who or what the US is "at war" with. Only Congress can do that.

We are not at war with Venezuela. The only way the 1798 act could be invoked against its citizens is if we were at war with Venezuela. We are not.

There were in fact terrorist organizations as far back as ancient Greece and Rome. Ancient Judea in particular had many terrorist organizations resisting first Greek and then Roman rule. There were terrorist organizations in colonial America. Tom is fucking ignorant of history.

There has been no due process of law confirming that the individuals deported did in fact belong to that Venezuelan gang.

Despite Trump and stupid assholes like Tom, we still have rule of law and due process in this country.

Tom, that is not how it works. The act requires a formal declaration of war from Congress, and only applies to nation states.

You can't simply remove elements required for a statute to kick in because you want to.  It is up to Congress to change the law as they see fit. 

Trump's deportation policy has been a massive failure based on Trump's own standards he articulated during his campaign.  As you know, it was a signature issue for him. Face the facts Tom. Trump's deportation polices have been an epic and costly failure. 

Go ahead, support terrorists in the USA.  It's on people like you when they activate and start killing Americans beyond the millions already killed by fentanyl.  There are thousands from around the globe in our country due to liberal policies.

I think it's disgusting liberals take the side of terrorists and pedos.

It is you who wants to overthrow the government and install Trump as dictator as you expect him not to have to follow the law or norms that every President has. 

If you want to live in an authoritarian dictatorship, move to Russia or China. 

Like this guy:

Accused Texas megachurch pastor to surrender in Oklahoma on child sexual abuse charges | AP News

"Robert Morris was known to be politically active. The church hosted President Donald Trump on its Dallas campus in 2020 for a discussion on race relations and the economy."

"Morris was part of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign’s evangelical advisory board."

Oh, wait, this guy is a MAGA pedo, well what about this guy then?

Republican who won county seat pleads guilty to sexual assault of daughter | Indiana | The Guardian

"Multiple witnesses allegedly told authorities that John Jessup got Rachel intoxicated. Allegedly, as Jessup repeatedly said the slogan “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”, she became so intoxicated she needed a wheelchair to get back to her hotel room.

There, she said she recalled showering while clothed – and her next recollection was waking up naked as Jessup sexually assaulted her, authorities wrote in the affidavit cited by the Daily Reporter."

Maybe not a pedo though, his daughter is 21 years old. This must be the fiscal conservatives that Boiler is so proud of in Indiana, instead of spending a bunch of money in a brothel in Pahrump, he rapes his daughter instead.

Dang, this guy is a MAGA pervert too!

This is incorrect.  If you read the actual law (50 U.S.C. 21), it states:  "Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government, and the President makes public proclamation of the event".  

Now read President Trumps proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798

Invocation of the Alien Enemies Act Regarding the Invasion of The United States by Tren De Aragua – The White House

The proclamation makes the case that this is indeed a 'predatory incursion', and that Tren De Aragua is a an officially designated foreign terrorist organization conducting irregular warfare against the United States and that this terrorist organization is tied to the Government of Venezuala.

As Commander in Chief and constitutionally responsible for US foreign policy how is this not within his power to make this determination and invoke this law?

You don't know how to read statutes.

The first requirement is, "Whenever there is a declared war..." 

That means for this statute to apply there has to be a declared war. Under the US Constitution, only Congress has power to declare war.

Now let's look at the next part. "...and any foreign nation or government..." That means this law only applies to foreign nations and governments. A terrrorist organization isn't a foreign nation or goverment, so again this statute doesn't apply. 

Now look at the text you highlighted. Once again you see ..."any foreign nation or government." 

That means that text you highlighted doesn't apply unless it is a foreign nation or government threatening or attempting these actions. This statute simply doesn't apply to a terrorist organization no matter how much you or Trump want it to.

The last time this law was invoked was WW II and that is because that is the last time we had a war declared by Congress. 

  You are wrong, again. This is ONE of the reasons that this can be enacted - or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government, and the President makes public proclamation of the event". -- You need to go back to your online Law School and learn the law.
