How is the Alien Enemies Act being used in deportations?

A federal judge ordering the Trump administration back into court yesterday following the successful deportation of Trenda Aragua gang members under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. The DOJ's motion to vacate the hearing denied by D.C. District Court Judge James Boasberg. On Saturday, that judge ordering a two-week pause on the administration's plans to conduct deportations under the Wartime Act, which also applies in case of an invasion, stating any planes already in the air must turn around and return to the United States. This order granted in spite of Supreme Court precedent stating that the Alien Enemies Act does not allow judicial review of removal orders.
Judge Boasberg demanding answers from the Trump Organization on Monday as to why he says they did not comply with his order. The Trump administration contends the planes were already in international territory at the time of the order and thus out of the judge's jurisdiction. Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller explaining to reporters the administration's position. This ruling is a dangerous overreach.
And if we got into a place in this country where district court judges could direct which general on the battlefield is going to be in charge of making which decisions, could direct what intelligence we could share. If a district court judge can be involved in the conduct of our foreign policy, under no definition do we have a democracy in this country.
Borders are Tom Homan telling Fox Business the White House complied with the original narrower order from the judge.
What are the concerns regarding the treatment of Venezuelan descendants?
Well, actually, we did comply with his written order on five aliens that he didn't want deported. And we complied with that. But look, you know, I agree with Carolyn. I don't think I have authority to have a plane of terrorists turn around in the middle of international waters and bring terrorists back into this country.
DOJ lawyers on Monday requesting the D.C. appellate court reassign this case to another judge. Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt describing some of the crimes the Tren de Aragua deportees were involved in.
