A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration's application of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) was unlawful, specifically regarding the deportation of alleged gang members to a mega prison in El Salvador. Judge Fernando Rodriguez emphasized that allowing the President to unilaterally define conditions for invoking the AEA would undermine executive limitations. The ruling highlights concerns about executive overreach in immigration enforcement, establishing a critical legal constraint on presidential authority in such matters.
U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez, Jr. stated, "Allowing the President to unilaterally define the conditions when he may invoke the AEA, and then summarily declare that those conditions exist, would remove all limitations to the Executive Branch's authority under the AEA."
The ruling signifies a crucial legal check against the extent of executive power, particularly regarding immigration enforcement and the treatment of alleged gang members.
