Migration Activists Sue to Block Trump from Deporting Alleged Illegal Alien Gangs
by Sean Moran 9 Apr 2025
Immigration activists have sued to block President Donald Trump from deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members using a wartime authority.
The Trump administration has invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport illegal aliens, especially those with alleged gang affiliations such as Tren de Aragua or MS-13.
The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could continue to use the centuries-old authority to deport illegal Venezuelan immigrants alleged to be gang members; however, justices said that the migrants must be given time to challenge their deportation under the Alien Enemies Act.
A Trump Justice Department spokesperson said that the department has “vigorously defended President Trump’s policies and will continue to do so whenever challenged in federal court by rogue judges who think they can control the President’s foreign policy and national security agenda. The Supreme Court’s recent decisions have validated the DOJ’s ongoing arguments to this end in court.”
