From The Hill: President Trump lashed out at judges early Saturday after a recent court ruling barred his administration from continuing to use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act (AEA) to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.
The president’s criticism comes less than two days after U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr., an appointee of Trump, ruled that the AEA does not allow the commander-in-chief to quickly deport alleged Venezuelan gang members to a jail in El Salvador, extending an existing block.
Rodriguez Jr. said in his ruling Thursday that the 18th century law can only be utilized when an “organized, armed force” is coming into the U.S., therefore rejecting the administration’s assertion that the law can be used against alleged members of the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang.
In a post on Truth Social Saturday morning, President Trump wrote, “Can it be so that Judges aren’t allowing the USA to Deport Criminals, including Murderers, out of our Country and back to where they came from? If this is so, our Country, as we know it, is finished! Americans will have to get used to a very different, crime filled, LIFE. This is not what our Founders had in mind!!!”
