No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities.

I'm not interested in your pointless metaphors, nor do I suspect anyone else is either.
I was responding to pointless comments about Trump's wall from another poster so I'm not concerned at all about what you're not interested in , or anyone else.

2nd judge rules Trump's use of Alien Enemies Act for deportations is unlawful

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein on Tuesday granted a preliminary injunction in the case of two plaintiffs identified by their initials, GFF and JGO, who were pulled off planes to El Salvador and transferred back to New York from Texas, where they had been detained on suspicion of alignment with the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang.

Tuesday's ruling comes after a Trump-appointed federal judge in Texas last week permanently blocked the Trump administration from detaining, transferring or removing Venezuelans targeted for deportation under the Alien Enemies Act in the Southern District of Texas -- ruling that the administration's invocation of the AEA "exceeds the scope" of the law.

Trump-appointed Judge #3 says it's lawful, but there needs to be more notification and "an opportunity to be heard".

Federal judge in Pennsylvania rules that Trump's invocation of AEA is lawful

The ruling stands in contrast to the rulings of two other judges.

A federal judge in Pennsylvania ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged migrant gang members is lawful, but determined that the administration has provided insufficient notice before deporting migrants under the proclamation.

‘Hereby declared unlawful’: Judge finds ‘severe deficiencies’ in Trump admin’s use of Alien Enemies Act, permanently blocking future deportations

A federal judge in Texas blocked the Trump administration from summarily deporting migrants in the state under a rarely-used 18th-century wartime power with little or no due process, becoming the latest in a growing line of jurists to hold that President Donald Trump’sinvocation of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) was unlawful.

“This Court need not look beyond the four corners of [the president’s Proclamation] to find its severe deficiencies in comporting with the AEA,” Briones wrote. “Even accepting every assertion in [the Proclamation] as true, it does not rise to meet the plain, ordinary meanings of the statutory terms.”

Lol. This is even better than when he was losing all those election lawsuits.

Supreme Court rejects Trump bid to resume quick deportations of Venezuelans under 18th century law

The high court had already called a temporary halt to the deportations from a north Texas detention facility in a middle-of-the-night order issued last month.​


‘Hereby declared unlawful’: Judge finds ‘severe deficiencies’ in Trump admin’s use of Alien Enemies Act, permanently blocking future deportations

A federal judge in Texas blocked the Trump administration from summarily deporting migrants in the state under a rarely-used 18th-century wartime power with little or no due process, becoming the latest in a growing line of jurists to hold that President Donald Trump’sinvocation of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) was unlawful.

This Texas case is the one furthest along. Appeals court agrees with lower court.

Appeals court rules Trump can’t use Alien Enemies Act to swiftly deport Venezuelans

“We accept the finding that drug-trafficking is being used as a weapon, but we hold it is not within even an updated meaning of invasion or predatory incursion,” wrote U.S. Circuit Judge Leslie Southwick.

“That would not have been an invasion or predatory incursion then [in 1798], and it is not one today.”

[Lone dissenting Trump judge said his fellows were] “robed crusaders who get to playact as multitudinous Commanders in Chief.”
