A radical federal judge has moved to block former President Donald Trump’s efforts to secure America’s borders and protect its citizens.
On Saturday, Chief Judge James E. Boasberg, an Obama-appointed leftist, granted a temporary restraining order to stop the Trump administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals under the Alien Enemies Act—an action well within the executive’s constitutional authority.
This outrageous ruling comes after far-left groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Democracy Forward, rushed to court in a desperate bid to shield illegal immigrants from deportation.
Their lawsuit, J.G.G. v. Trump, seeks to upend Trump’s lawful enforcement of immigration laws, arguing that invoking the Alien Enemies Act—a wartime measure historically used to remove hostile foreign nationals—is somehow “unprecedented” and “unlawful” during peacetime.
The court’s ruling temporarily halts deportations for the plaintiffs named in the lawsuit for just 14 days, setting the stage for an extended legal battle that could prevent mass deportations of criminals and illegal immigrants if left unchecked.
A remote hearing on the issue is scheduled for later today, with a broader in-person hearing set for Monday in Washington, D.C.
President Trump has been clear: the United States cannot afford to be flooded with dangerous individuals, particularly from countries rife with crime, corruption, and socialist upheaval.
Officials had been preparing to send gang members and other criminal aliens to Guantanamo Bay, ensuring they would not be released into American communities where they pose an active threat to public safety.
Under the Alien Enemies Act, which has been used sparingly in U.S. history—including during World War II to detain German, Italian, and Japanese nationals—Trump planned to fast-track deportations of Venezuelan nationals with suspected ties to criminal organizations. Unlike the typical drawn-out immigration process, this emergency wartime authority would have expedited the removal of illegal aliens without the bureaucratic red tape of court hearings and asylum reviews.
Yet, predictably, the activist judge’s ruling has stalled these crucial measures.
