HUGE WIN: Supreme Court vacates judge’s orders barring Trump from deporting gang members under Alien Enemies Act
Another huge win!
In an unsigned order, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday vacated Judge James Boasberg’s orders barring the Trump Administration’s removals of Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.
Last month, Judge Boasberg granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the Trump administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals believed to be members of Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang under the Alien Enemies Act.
Far-left America-hating leftist groups, such as the ACLU and Democracy Forward, rushed to a D.C. court in a desperate bid to shield dangerous illegal aliens from deportation.
The high court said Boasberg lacked jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court however, said the Administration must give reasonable notice for gang members to challenge their deportations in court.
Five Supreme court Justices, Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Thomas and Alito were in favor of vacating Boasberg’s orders.
The three liberal justices Kagan, Jackson and Sotomayor dissented – ‘conservative’ justice Amy Coney Barret dissented in part.
“Importantly, as the Court stresses, the Court’s disagreement with the dissenters is not over whether the detainees receive judicial review of their transfers—all nine Members of the Court agree that judicial review is available. The only question is where that judicial review should occur. That venue question turns on whether these transfer claims belong in habeas corpus proceedings or instead may be brought under the Administrative Procedure Act. I agree with the Court’s analysis that the claims must be brought in habeas,” Justice Kavanaugh wrote in a concurring opinion.
JUST IN: The Supreme Court has vacated Judge Boasberg’s orders barring Trump’s removals under the Alien Enemies Act largely over venue — but empahsizes the administration must give “reasonable notice” for targets to challenge their deportations in court. https://t.co/rnhB90af8y pic.twitter.com/FxG9kLDhui

The fight over this case is not over.
Last week, Judge Boasberg signaled that he would hold the Trump Administration in contempt for violating his order (they didn’t).
Boasberg threatened to hold Trump officials in contempt for not bringing some of the world’s most vicious killers, criminals, and rapists back to the United States.
