On Saturday, Donald Trump referred to a centuries -old law to detaine and deport members of the Venecuela gang, but his executive order quickly blocked the federal judge.
Trump’s command quoted the al -Almighty enemies of 1798 to remove members of the Venecuela gang of a moment de Aragua, which he said “illegally infiltrated the United States and carried out irregular warfare and undertakes enemy action against the United States.”
Politics relies on the authority that has last called the state of citizens who are not in the US in Italian, German and Japanese origin-one of the most controversial episodes in American history.
James Boasberg, an American federal judge in Columbia County, blocked the deportation of individuals in custody on Saturday, which are subject to an executive order for 14 days.
The law that Trump called “does not give the basis for the president’s proclamation, given that the invasion of the expression, predatory invades, is really related to hostile works committed by any nation and proportional to the war,” said Boasberg, according to media reports.
The White House did not immediately respond to the commentary request.
The executive command was the last escalation in Trump’s aggressively tightening of immigration. The President promised mass deportations during the implementation of the Burgen Measures, including an effort to restrict birth nationality and declared a national emergency on the border of the US-Mexico.
Although the command of the target members of the de Aragua, he says that “the secretary for Homeland Security reserves the discretion of the right to capture and remove any alien enemy under any separate authority.” This implies that it can expand the application of a law that critics say they could be deported during the breakthrough of the prescribed procedure.
“Calling a Law on External Enemies is a dangerous abuse of power to deprive people of their legal rights,” said Allison McManus, director of national security and foreign policy at the US Progress Center.
Last month, the Government had determined the foreign terrorist organization, after Trump had directed his cabinet on the first day of his second presidency to evaluate a series of groups, including a Venecuelan band for threats of national security.
The executive order was quoted by Interpol Washington, who said “a moment de Aragua appeared as a significant threat to the United States while infiltrating Venezuela migration.”
Trump’s command stated that the band “continues to attack, tries to attack and threaten to attack the country” – a rhetoric that the president often uses when describing immigration policy.
Legal scientists have argued that calling for illegal immigration as an “invasion” can give Trump, according to the US law and the Constitution, to give wide powers to deport individuals or keep them in custody without trial.
The executive order followed a few hours after the US Union of Civic Freedom on behalf of five Venecuela men in the detention of immigration was afraid of the immediate removal on Saturday, the Law of Aliens were called.
This measure would eliminate citizens who are not in the United States “without any possibility for court review,” ACLU said in court documents, adding that the Statute in question was “a war measure that was used only three times in the history of our country: the war of 1812, World War I and World War II.”
The government then appealed at the Columbia District Court’s district court, which challenged the previously temporary commands for the suppression handed over by Judge Boasberg.
“This court should stop this huge, unauthorized imposition of the powers of the executive authority to remove dangerous foreigners who represent threats to the US people,” the US Ministry of Justice said in a court.
