TRUMP-APPOINTED JUDGE FOILS STEPHEN MILLER'S GRAND PLAN

https://mediaproxy.salon.com/width/1200/https://media2.salon.com/2024/11/stephen_miller_donald_trump_2182210862_2169754985.jpg

✍️ A Trump-appointed judge in Texas has ruled that the Trump administration's use of the 1789 Alien Enemies Act to detain and deport immigrants is illegal and unconstitutional.

👉 The Alien Enemies Act was passed in 1798 and has only been used three times in the past, all during times of war. 👉 The Act allows the President to detain and deport citizens of an invading nation, but the judge found that the Trump administration's use of the Act is not justified by any actual invasion or threat. 👉 The ruling is a significant victory for immigrants' rights advocates, who have long argued that the Trump administration's use of the Act is unconstitutional and illegal. 👉 The judge's ruling could have far-reaching implications for the country's immigration policy, and could potentially lead to the release of thousands of immigrants who have been detained under the Act.
