As he weighs the propriety of President Donald Trump‘s prayer of the Alien Enemies Act, a federal judge on Saturday nights ordered an instant two-week stop to all persecution of Venezuelan unlawful immigrants with ties to the Tren de Aragua group.
Trump previously on Saturday issued a statement declaring an invasion by the Venezuelan-based group and directing the imprisonment of all Tren de Aragua-affiliated Venezuelan illegal immigrants who are 14 years and older. Trump made an invocation of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, a military legislation that has only been used three times in U.S. background and allows for the repatriation of natives and citizens of an enemy country without a reading in the proclamation.
Given that these people will be deported and many or the vast majority of them to prisons in other countries, or sent back to Venezuela, where they face persecution, or worse, he claimed that the Venezuelans face irreparable harm.
Boasberg was urged by a justice department attorney to refrain from intervening in the deportations by their extensive criminal histories.
The attorney argued that the majority of or all of them are “extremely dangerous individuals.”
Two deportation flights reportedly meant for Venezuelan illegal immigrants had already left an airport in Harlingen, Texas, and were nearby El Salvador and Honduras.

Boasberg addressed the question during the hearing, requesting immediate implementation of his ruling.
Any plane carrying these people that is about to take off or is in the air needs to be flown back to the United States, despite the success. Make sure it is immediately followed, he said.
