Federal Judge Maintains Block on Trump’s Wartime Deportation Powers

Judge James Boasberg ruled that Venezuelan migrants must receive due process before deportation under the Alien Enemies Act, while an appeals court deliberates on lifting the restraining order.

• Judge James Boasberg refused to lift a restraining order blocking the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members without hearings.
• The administration deported over 200 Venezuelans to El Salvador’s maximum-security prison despite earlier court orders, raising accusations of defying judicial authority.
• The appeals court heard arguments on the administration's efforts to overturn the restraining order, with judges expressing skepticism about the lack of due process provided to deportees.
• Deported individuals reportedly faced misidentification as gang members based on tattoos and other insufficient evidence, with some having no criminal records or gang affiliations.
• The Salvadoran prison where deportees were sent is notorious for harsh conditions and allegations of torture, intensifying concerns over human rights violations.
