The Telegraph: First judge to allow Donald Trump to use wartime act to deport migrants
A Pennsylvania judge has allowed Donald Trump to invoke the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members, marking a judicial win for the former president. Judge Stephanie L. Haines ruled that the act does not require a foreign invasion and can be applied to groups like the Tren de Aragua gang.
However, she stated that deportees must receive 21 days' notice and the opportunity to appeal. This ruling contrasts with decisions from other judges who deemed Trump's use of the act unlawful. The case may ultimately reach the Supreme Court, which has a conservative majority.
