A federal judge banned the Trump administration on Saturday and deported him under drastic 18th century laws. The president was called several hours ago to speed up the removal of Venezuelan gang members from the United States.
The Associated Press said US District Judge James E. Boasberg said the order must be issued immediately as the government has already claimed that President Donald Trump’s declaration is newly deportable under the declaration that it will be imprisoned.
El Salvador has already agreed to use up to 300 immigrants this week that the Trump administration has designated as gang members.
“I don’t think I can wait anymore and need to act,” Boasberg said in a lawsuit filed by the ACLU and Democracy at a Saturday evening hearing. “A short delay in their removal will not cause harm to the government,” he added, saying they remained in government detention but ordered them to look back at the planes in the air.
The ruling comes hours after Trump allegedly claimed that Venezuelan gangster Tren de Aragua had invaded the United States and sparked the alien enemy law of 1798.
This law has only been used three times during the war. That latest application was during World War II, which was used to incarcerate Germans and Italians and used to mass internment of Japanese-American civilians.
In a declaration issued more than an hour before Boasburg’s hearing, Trump claimed that Tren de Aragua was effectively at war with the United States.
