For the first time, a federal judge has upheld President
Donald Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA), a power Trump invoked during
wartime to deport Venezuelans he claims belong to a criminal gang.
U.S. District Judge Stephanie Haines, a Trump appointee in
Pennsylvania, upheld Trump's March 14 proclamation declaring that the Tren de
Aragua, a violent Venezuelan gang, is conducting an "incursion" into
the United States. Trump has also designated that gang, as well as El
Salvador's MS-13, as a terrorist organization.
Haines also ruled that the government has not provided
sufficient notice to people facing deportation under the AEA. She ordered that
the government must provide at least 21 days' notice, considerably longer than
the 12 hours some deportees have received, NPR reported.
