A federal judge has maintained his ruling that prevents the Trump administration from swiftly deporting Venezuelan immigrants accused of gang affiliation under the Alien Enemies Act. The ruling emphasizes that these individuals deserve a chance to contest the allegations before any action is taken. This decision raises questions about the administration's interpretation of the act and its adherence to due process principles, amidst accusations from Trump and his supporters that the judge is overstepping his judicial authority.
In a 37-page order, the judge, James E. Boasberg, emphasized that the Venezuelan immigrants must have the opportunity to challenge allegations of gang membership before deportation.
Judge Boasberg highlighted that the Alien Enemies Act, while allowing for broad government action, also requires due process for individuals facing deportation under its provisions.
