Alien Enemies Act - Judge - president’s actions weren’t legal because the US isn’t being invaded

Anonymous hackers breach airline tied to ICE deportations and leak flight records

Hackers targeted one of the airlines the Trump administration is using as part of its deportation efforts, stealing flight records and passenger manifests of all of its flights, including those for deportation, according to a new report.

The hackers targeted GlobalX Air, the charter company that facilitated the deportation of hundreds of Venezuelans to El Salvador, and shared the data with 404 Media and other journalists. The information revealed who exactly has been deported on GlobalX flights, when and to where.

"Anonymous has decided to enforce the Judge's order since you and your sycophant staff ignore lawful orders that go against your fascist plans,” a defacement message posted to GlobalX’s website said.
..........................
For instance, the hackers managed to acquire what seems to be detailed flight information about GlobalX flights 6143, 6145, and 6122 that departed from Harlingen, Texas's Valley International Airport on March 15. These flights are at the heart of a class-action lawsuit filed by five Venezuelan men using pseudonyms against the Trump administration.

 

and another judge says the AEA is not applicable

duh...

'If that is not irreparable harm, what is?': Irate judge finds Trump's invocation of Alien Enemies Act 'unlawful' and blasts admin for sending immigrants to 'notoriously evil jail'

A New York judge on Tuesday became the second to find President Donald Trump‘s invocation and use of the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) “unlawful” and barred the government from deporting anyone in his district under the auspices of the obscure wartime law. In a 22-page opinion by U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, a Bill Clinton appointee, the court begins with an appeal to the nation’s founding principles — by juxtaposing the rights to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” with the behavior of the Trump administration.
.............................................
The judge added that removals of the sort carried out by the Trump administration do not align with the due process rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution — or the internal procedures in the AEA itself. In fact, the court says the AEA was improperly invoked in the first place.

“[T]he Presidential Proclamation, in mandating removal without due process, contradicts the AEA,” Hellerstein writes. “ince [the government has] not demonstrated the existence of a ‘war,’ ‘invasion’ or ‘predatory incursion,’ the AEA was not validly invoked by the Presidential Proclamation.”

 

trying to claim state secrets act. can't tell you why we ahd to deport him without due cause..cauuuusssee....it's a SECRET...yeah, s state secret, national security, nanabobobo...

lock em all up, revoke their law licenses for making such absurd claims to the court

Trump administration invokes state secrets privilege amid judge’s Abrego Garcia inquiry

The Trump administration has invoked the state secrets privilege in response to a federal judge’s demand for details about the improper deportation of Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis revealed the development in an order Wednesday, asking for a detailed legal briefing on the decision and how it might affect her intensive inquiry into the Trump administration’s handling of Abrego Garcia’s case.

It’s the second time in recent weeks that the Trump administration has invoked the state secrets privilege in order to frustrate judges’ demand for information about potential violations of court orders related to summary deportations.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi endorsed the invocation of the state secrets privilege in March after U.S. District Judge James Boasberg demanded information about the timing of flights to El Salvador carrying migrants deported under a rarely used presidential war power.

 

they better be working fast, due in the am..I suspect they will say SECRET..can't tell you again..


Judge demands Trump officials detail legal grounds for deporting Palestinian activist

(Reuters) - A federal judge instructed the Trump administration on Wednesday to detail the legal precedent for its plan to deport Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist whose presence in the country the government alleges could harm U.S. foreign policy interests.

District Court Judge Michael Farbiarz in Newark, New Jersey, ordered the administration to supply a catalog of every case in which U.S. officials have employed the law being used against Khalil, a Columbia University graduate student.

The judge asked to know specifics behind U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's determination of the risks posed by Khalil's presence in the U.S. He gave the government until 9:30 a.m. ET (1330 GMT) on Thursday to respond.

 

Georgetown researcher released from ICE custody after judge’s order

Badar Khan Suri, the Georgetown University researcher who has been held in an immigration detention center in Texas since March, was released from custody Wednesday, hours after a federal judge ruled that Trump administration officials probably violated his rights in their ongoing attempt to deport him.

Suri, a postdoctoral fellow who lives in Northern Virginia with his wife and three children, says he is being wrongfully targeted by immigration authorities because of his family’s support for the Palestinian people in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. U.S. officials have invoked a rarely used statute as they seek to deport Suri to his native India, calling him a threat to foreign-policy interests.

At a hearing in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, Judge Patricia Tolliver Giles ordered Suri released from immigration custody. He was released hours later, his attorneys said. The ruling came days after Giles asserted jurisdiction over the case in Virginia, denying a request from the Justice Department to transfer proceedings to a federal court in Texas.

As a condition of Suri’s release, Giles ordered that Suri reside in Virginia and attend hearings in her courtroom.

 

so 2 - 1 , seems like a question for the supremes

do you think a gang that the US intelligence committee confirms is not related to the Venezuelan gubmnt constitutes an invasion under the AEA? personal opinion. do you think the US is being invaded? time for martial law? suspension of habeus?

 

Nashville MAGA supporter feels the impact

Pro-Trump Nashville Restauranteur Forced to Shutter Kitchens in Fear of ICE Raids

Steve Smith, a prominent Trump donor and conservative Nashville bar owner, was forced to close kitchens at three of his high-volume Broadway properties over the weekend, as management told workers afraid of being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to go home.

According to one employee, staff were told to go home mid-shift Saturday night after ICE activity surged in the area. The decision impacted staff at The Diner, Honky Tonk Central, and Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk.

“We were already understaffed because of the ICE raids throughout the weekend,” one worker told the Nashville Scene. “Then, around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, our manager came back and told anyone without legal status to go home. Events at the Ryman, Ascend, the Savannah Bananas’ baseball game all let out, and it was crazy busy. But there was no one in the kitchen to cook the food.”

Sources say staffing shortages persisted through Sunday as employees stayed home, afraid of arrest.
