0:21Now PlayingA federal judge denied a Trump administration request to throw out a temporary order barring further deportations of accused Venezuelan gang members based solely on the Alien Enemies Act, further escalating a standoff between the courts and the White House.
US District Judge James Boasberg in Washington ruled his temporary order will remain in effect, restricting such removals until the men are given an opportunity to challenge whether they are connected to the Tren de Aragua gang. The ruling came hours before a federal appeals court will hear arguments on the issue.
“Each vehemently denies being a member of Tren de Aragua,” the judge said in a ruling Monday. “Several in fact claim that they fled Venezuela to escape the predations of the group, and they fear grave consequences if deported solely because of the Government’s unchallenged labeling.”
The ruling is the latest development in a growing rift between the judiciary and executive branches over the extent of President Donald Trump’s power to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which applies when the US is in a state of “declared war” or suffering an “invasion or predatory incursion.” After Boasberg issued his TROs, Trump called for the judge to be impeached, prompting a rare rebuke of the president by US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
