New: Trump Admin Takes Tren De Aragua Deportation Flights, Alien Enemies Act to SCOTUS
Red State ^ | March 28, 2025 | Becca Lower

Posted on 03/29/2025 5:55:50 AM PDT by george76

The Trump administration, as expected, filed a brief with the United States Supreme Court on Friday, asking the justices to allow resumption of deportation flights of illegal aliens who are members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua to El Salvador through use of the Alien Enemies Act.

This could happen only if SCOTUS agrees to vacate Federal District Court Judge James Boasberg's order from Saturday, Mar. 16, as my colleague Bob Hoge wrote in the wee hours of that Sunday morning:

It didn’t take long for Obama appointed Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg to kneecap the effort. Not only did he issue a temporary restraining order preventing the deportation of any Venezuelans, but he also ordered that the plane (or planes; it’s unclear) return the gangsters to the U.S.

The actions against the president began even before he signed the order.

...

The Federalist journalist, Professor Margot Cleveland reports that Chief Justice John Roberts requested response after receiving the government's brief:

Cleveland praises the filing as "excellent," with "extensive analysis":

She explains that the argument is a "simple" one for the justices to consider:

Judge Boesberg LACKED jurisdiction. That's all that matters & Judge Henderson ignored that flaw.

On Mar. 26, both Prof Cleveland and our own Susie Moore analyzed the D.C. Circuit's refusal of a stay of Boasberg's ruling requested by the Trump Justice Department (DOJ) in the Alien Enemies Act case:

One of those judges was also tripped up by the same "fatal flaw," Cleveland writes. Finally, she suggests where this case could be heading--a chastisement of lower court judges by the Supreme Court:

There were several tangential court decisions on Friday, including what could end up being a momentary setback on the repatriation front for Team Trump, as a district court judge mulled halting the removal of a Venezuelan national whose activism in defense of the illegal horde was problematic, as we wrote.

But Team Trump notched one in the win column, with a Venezuelan illegal immigrant who "trained" other illegals to squat in vacant homes, among other violent and illegal activities, earning a one-way ticket home courtesy of the U.S. government:

One of those who appears to agree with Cleveland on what SCOTUS' next move should be is Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who wrote on his X account on Friday:

AG Uthmeier wrote: "[T]his is dangerous judicial territory," urging the justices to take action against judges continuing to make rulings that threaten "President Trump's authority under Article II of the Constitution."

This is a developing story. RedState will provide updates as warranted.

Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president.

Doesn’t this destroy their whole argument that it’s non judiciable? Resume the flights and ignore the judge.

Getting it done quickly is more important than the point about legal jurisdiction.

Trump can always ignore the Supremes, come to that. But better for later (and other issues) to have them on his side, if possible.

Trump is a businessman, not Superman.

SCOTUS isn’t going to go with the Constitution. They’re going with the far-left, Barrett now. The far-left has intimidated her into surrendering to their retarded mindset.

Where were these retarded “district” judgeys when Joe Pedo was illegally flying these scabs into our homes on American planes using American taxpayer dollars?

So the filthy bastards in the democrat party would gladly leave violent murderers and rapists in the country and allow them to rape, steal, assault and kill Americans.

If SCOTUS sides with the District Court Judges then Trump and the GOP must ignore them. Or Trump, and this country, are done.

Let’s get this “Constitutional Crisis” over with once and for all.

"The Supreme Court says it is the final arbiter of what the Constitution means."

This is an assumption of power.

For the Executive or the Legislative Branch of Government to overrule this assumption would be no more an assumption of power than that of the Supreme Court.

In fact, a declaration by the Legislative that it is the final arbiter would have as much authority and validity, perhaps more, than that of the Supreme Court. Such a declaration by the Executive would also have as much authority and validity, perhaps more, than that of the Supreme Court.

The Executive could say it is the final arbiter of what the Constitution means. The Legislative could say it is the final arbiter of what the Constitution means. Either claim would be as valid as the claim of the Judiciary, i.e. the Supreme Court.

Precedence supports the claim of the Supreme Court, but precedence has been overturned, e.g. Brown v. Board of Education et al.

Ludecke v. Watkins, 335 U.S. 160 (1948)

No question has been raised as to the validity of these administrative actions taken pursuant to Presidential Proclamation 2526, dated December 8, 1941, 6 Fed.Reg. 6323, issued under the authority of the Alien Enemy Act.

The order recited that the petitioner was deemed dangerous on the basis of the evidence adduced at hearings before the Alien Enemy Hearing Board on January 16, 1942, and the Repatriation Hearing Board on December 17, 1945. The district court which examined these proceedings found that petitioner had notice and a fair hearing, and that the evidence was substantial.

The district court found that:
“The petitioner was born in Berlin, Germany, on February 5, 1890. He was out of Germany for most of the period of 1923 to March, 1933. He returned to Germany in March, 1933, and became a member of the Nazi party. Later he had some disagreements with other members, and, as a result, he was sent to a German concentration camp, from which he escaped March 1, 1934, after being confined for over eight months. Sometime thereafter, he came to this country and published a book, ‘I Knew Hitler’ [’The Story of a Nazi Who Escaped The Blood Purge’ — ‘In memory of Captain Ernst Roehm and Gregor Strasser and many other Nazis who were betrayed, murdered, and traduced in their graves’], in 1937. His petition for naturalization as an American citizen was denied December 18, 1939.”

The petitioner’s attitude was thus expressed in his brief before the district court:
“Fundamentally, it matters not where I live, for I can strive to live the right life and be of service where ever I am. Besides, it may well be a better thing to do the best I can while I can in the midst of a defeated people suffering in body and soul than to be a futile and frustrated something in the midst of a triumphant people breathing the foul air of self-complacency, hypocrisy, and self-deceit.”

“Whenever there is...any...predatory incursion is perpetrated...against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government”

I suspect that has to be proven at least one time in a courtroom.

The scumbags Team Trump are actually trying to remove need to go.

Giving them a hearing isn’t going to change that.

Wouldn’t have mattered, Joe Pedo ignored the Supremes on the student loan forgiveness issue. He would have ignored them on this as well, and the MSM would have praised him for ignoring the rulings of far-right nazi judges.

I agree. These so-called “judges” didn’t have a damn thing to do when Joe Pedo was on the throne. Now they’re trying to catch up just in case they are required to submit to DOGE five constructive things they did with their worthless little lives recently.
