The Supreme Court on Friday granted a request by Venezuelan nationals seeking an injunction against their removal from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act.
In an unsigned decision, the court said the Trump administration had not given the detainees enough time or adequate resources to challenge their deportations.
“Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster,” the ruling said.
The court did not rule on whether the Alien Enemies Act, which the Trump administration invoked in mid-April to deport the detainees, had been applied correctly.
The crazy thing about using that act is that I hadn’t heard of Venezuelan migrants specifically being criminal masterminds or even Tren de Aragua until Trump was in office this year. Just like I hadn’t heard much about ms13 until Trump’s first term. (I had heard of them but not nearly as much as after he talked about them in a speech)
So how can he declare Venezuela an enemy if the actions he was focusing on weren’t even national news until he pushed the narrative?
I’m pretty sure he just held the tail of Fox News’ propaganda since it was already effectively riling up his base.
He went off on Haitians eating dogs and cats only after the prison break in February began its fearmongering through right wing media. It’s just an angle to him.
