“WaPo has discovered that🚨Rubio lied about #Venezuela not being willing to accept so-called "gang members." It only stopped accepting deportees AFTER Trump's illegal Alien Enemies Act proclamation asserted that the US was at war with VE & could seize its assets.”
-D Bier
Rubio has become as mendacious & ruthless as Trump.
“The admin rounded up some of the Venezuelans 2 days before the flights took off, pressing forward even as Ven…”

"Confused about the oft-mentioned Alien Enemies Act? This explainer, with links to free peer-reviewed scholarship, may help clear things up."
Since 2019, the Neighbors Not Enemies Act has been introduced each year in Congress to repeal the AEA ,,, the bill has never made it out of committee.
"DOJ said it submitted a “clear official decl under oath that the US doesn't have custody or control over" the Venezuelans in SLV -despite Trump & Noem suggesting otherwise.
This is the whole "meat" of that decl -reason: losing in ct."

"Trump admin advances new legal ARGs re: #AEA.
US: no “enforceable” AGT with SLV to retain custody over deported migrants.

Trump nominierter Richter bereitet Trump-Regierung wegen Alien Enemies Act / Tren de-Aragua-Proklamation Niederlage auf nahezu ganzer Linie
President’s invocation of the AEA through theProclamation exceeds the scope of the statute & is contrary to the plain, ordinary meaning of the statute
@cedricleighton.bsky.social
👍👍 Permanent injunction.
(We're not at war, there's no emergency, the #AEA doesn't apply.)

Full decision here
“the President's invocation of the #AEA through the Proclamation EXCEEDS THE SCOPE of the statute & is contrary to the plain, ordinary meaning of the statute's terms. As a result, the Court concludes that as a matter of #law, the #ExecutiveBranch cannot rely on the AEA, based on the Proclamation, to detain the Named Petitioners & the certified class, or to remove them from the country.”
"Two weeks ago Trump was stopped from sending more ppl to be imprisoned in SLV. Now we're learning who they were —& the stories are OUTRAGEOUS.
One guy was🚨accused of being in TdA bc of his tattoos, incl Pikachu, Toad, & Patrick from SpongeBob!"

Our latest investigation based on 1sthand accts from ICE detainees in TX reveals how Venezuelans were nearly removed from the C under the #AEA w/o a chance to contest the allegations agst them.

Erwiderung der Betroffenen auf den Antrag der US-Regierung, die Entscheindung des District Court Colorado vom 22.04. im dortigen #AEA-Verfahren außer Vollzug zu setzen
+ Rück-Antwort der Regierung
Ein Vergleich der Argumente von Regierung und Betroffenen.
#Trump DOJ is trying to destroy the 4th #Amendment. I have the bonkers #DOJ memo that authorizes federal agents to barge into our homes without a warrant. I explain the many ways this is wildly unconstitutional, and premised upon a sham application of the #AEA
Zum erstmal haben zwei US-Gerichte geprüft, ob die US-Regierung Beweise dafür hat, daß Personen, die sie unter Berufung auf den #AEA abschieben will, tatsächlich Tren de Argua-Mitglieder sind
Ergebnis: Sie - die Regierung - hat sie - Beweise - NICHT.
“Last night, a fed judge became the 1st to review ICE’s claim that someone was an “alien enemy.”
It went SO BAD for #ICE -not only did the judge order release for the ppl suing, w/o prompting he restricted the use of: #AEA in W TX.
In a SCATHING decision, Judge Briones in El Paso absolutely SAVAGED the govt over this case, tearing to shreds ICE’s hearsay “evidence” that this husband & wife were in TdA as “completely +wholly unsubstantiated” +ordered their immediate release”

The DOJ has authorized law enforcement officers to GO INTO PPL'S HOMES W/O SEARCH WARRANTS if they suspect that someone is an "alien enemy."
The directive, issued by AG Bondi Mar 14, provides: 1st public view of the specific implementation of the 1798 #AEA invoked to deport migrants accused of being members of the Venezuelan's TdA.
A day after that ann, #immigration officials apprehended & flew more than 200 Venezuelans to SLV's #CECOT.

"The US is now only giving migrants 12 hours to decide whether they want to contest under the wartime authority, Alien Enemies Act, down from 24 hours. The government attempted to seal the document but judge just unsealed it."

"Total rejection of the #SCOTUS decision. Utterly absurd with their entire lives in the balance, the admin gives them just a day to get a lawyer and file a petition."
