Prime Minister Donald Trump's federal judge prevented the use of a 227 -year -old law aimed at protecting the United States during the war period to carry out mass deportations for Venezuelan.
Trump announced on Saturday that immigrants belonging to the Venezuelan crime gang, Trierin de Aragoa, were “running an irregular war” against the United States and that he would nominate them under the law of foreign enemies for 1798.
But the American boycott judge, James Boasberg, on Saturday evening, ordered the suspension of deportations covered by the advertisement, which will last for 14 days, according to media reports.
Judge Pasperj told a hearing that he heard that the planes with the deportees were taking off and ordered them to return back.
During the war, law allows the United States to detain and remove people who threaten the safety of the country without the need to follow up on legal procedures. The last time the trainees of Japanese origin were called during World War II.
There was no slight surprise to the advertisement on Saturday, as Trump announced that Tree de Aragoa was “committing, trying and threatening the invasion or predatory incursion against the territory of the United States.”
He promised to use the controversial law for collective deportation during the campaign last year.
The American Civil Liberties Union and another rights group filed a lawsuit against it to prevent it from using it on Saturday before the announcement was also issued.
In a hearing, the judge said that the conditions of the “invasion” and “predatory incursion” in the law “are really related to the hostile actions committed by the enemy countries”, and the law may not have provided a good basis for the Trump announcement, according to the New York Times.
The American Civil Liberties Lawyer told the New York Times he believed that there are two Venezuelan immigrants on Sunday. The BBC did not check this report.
The case will now be transferred through the legal system and can reach the Supreme Court.
The advertisement, and the battle surrounding it, must gather from Trump's supporters, who largely brought him back to the White House for his pledges to eliminate illegal immigration and reduce daily goods. Since its opening in January, he quickly repaired the American immigration system.
In addition to some legal experts, rights groups call for unprecedented protest, noting that the law of foreign enemies has been used in the past after the United States has officially announced the war against other countries. Under the constitution, Congress can only declare war.
At least 14 Venezuelan citizens in the United States, at least 14 -year -old, members of Trin de Aragoa and “are not in fact residents or permanent legal residents” must be arrested, resurrected, and removed as foreign enemies “, under Trump Trump.
Trump did not lie down in the announcement how US officials will determine that the person is a member of the violent gang across patriotism.
By using this law, instead of the immigration laws that already give it a “extensive authority” to deport the gang members, Trump will not have to prove that the detainees are part of the Trine de Aragoa, said Catherine Yun Etitrite, the lawyer of the Brennan Center for Justice in a statement.
“He wants to overcome any need to provide evidence or persuade the judge that someone is already a member of the gang before deporting him,” she said.
“The only reason for calling such a authority is an attempt to enable arrests and a sweeping deportation of Venezuelans based on their ancestors, and not on any gang activity that can be proven in immigration procedures.”
