A federal judge on Saturday night temporarily blocked President Trump from removing immigrants under a wartime law known as the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 after the president announced earlier in the day that he would enforce the law.
Despite the ruling, 261 people were deported to El Salvador on Saturday, 137 of whom were removed under the Alien Enemies Act over alleged gang ties, a senior administration official said. The White House and Justice Department have said they had already been removed from the country when the judge made his ruling.
The judge's ruling was in response to a federal civil lawsuit filed Saturday by a group of five Venezuelan men in immigration custody in Texas and New York local jails against President Trump and other administration officials.
Mr. Trump invoked the 227-year-old wartime law earlier Saturday.......
James E. Boasberg, chief judge of the District Court for the U.S. District of Columbia, on Saturday implemented a temporary restraining order preventing their deportations for 14 days. The Justice Department appealed that decision, arguing the D.C. court has no authority over the case because none of the five men are in the district. Four are being held in detention in Texas and one in New York. They further argued that invocation of the Alien Enemies Act is "speculation."

It’s time to start removing these activist judges from the benches for good.
Well tough, the illegals are already back in El Salvador, the Trump administration handled it PERFECTLY by the time the stupid commie judge made his ruling it was too late for them to return, just ignore these fool judges, pretend they dont exist
I believe articles of impeachment have been introduced against the judge.
A law that’s been on the books since congress passed it in 1798, one year after they sent the constitution out for ratification. No issues since then. Now this vacuum head legal eagle finds fault with it. What an idiot.
Yes, but I’d like to see the judge arrested and frog marched to jail. That would get these activist judges’ attention.
Oopsie—too late!
Judge thought he had blocked it.
It’s amazing how flexible legal “standing” is in these courts If you have proof of election fraud, no matter who or where you are, you have no legal standing to present that evidence. But if you’re a scumbag, illegal alien, gang member - no problem . . .
The headline is clever...look at the change in upper and lower case.
Exactly....since when a bass-turd activist judge in a black robe have authority over the executive branch? Ignore these ass wipes and their injunctions. They’ve no way to enforce them. Give me the middle finger and move on.
give them the middle finger I meant.
Too late. I took you at your word. Sorry about that.
LOL.
“..Yes, but I’d like to see the judge arrested and frog marched to jail. That would get these activist judges’ attention....”
Arrest em and immediately get em out of the country on a flight to the prison in San Salvador with the rest of the gang members....couldn’t happen to a better bunch of tyrants...
These five illegal aliens had standing?
Did they file this case with a US taxpayer paid attorney?
How cute! Another delusional demo-commie ‘judge’ who thinks he runs the executive branch and self-identifies as yet another to get tossed off the bench immediately.
The degree in which they must be compromised is enormous to take such risks.
It's the Shakespeare line, "Thou protests too much".
Who is it that has their boot on the necks of these judges? What is the mechanism of the threat to them?
Impeachment is just grandstanding and will never happen.
The remedy is to appeal and force SCOTUS to limit the power of federal judges to issue universal injunctions that extend beyond their jurisdiction.
That power has never been established in court, the judges are acting as if they had this power under the Constitution.
Our side used the same powers to block Obama on DACA, so it’s not like Republicans are pure or anything.
Sounds good except for this judge. This judge is responsible for a lot of J6er’s being in jail. He should be held to a higher standard than he imposed on them because he’s supposed to be impartial.
So put him in DC jail solitary for years as he obstructed the President doing his lawful duties.
