Lawyers for Venezuelan men argue the Trump administration unfairly classifies them as gang members based on superficial traits like tattoos and clothing, particularly noting a checklist that links seemingly innocuous appearances to gang affiliations. This challenge arises from the invocation of the Alien Enemies Act, allowing deportation without due process. A recent appeals court ruling against the administration adds tension to the legal confrontation, raising broader implications for presidential authority in immigration matters concerning perceived gang activity.
The use of appearances, such as wearing certain jerseys and having tattoos, raises questions of fairness in defining gang affiliation under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
Lawyers argue that the Trump administration's use of immigration checklists targets individuals based on superficial traits rather than actual criminal behavior.
