President Trump attempted to invoke a World War II-era law to deport Venezuelan gang members, but a federal judge has temporarily blocked the order pending legal review. The move ties the gang to the Maduro regime and raises questions about the use of wartime authority for immigration enforcement.

In a recent move, President Donald Trump attempted to utilize the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, linking them to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. However, a federal judge has intervened, temporarily blocking any deportations while assessing the legality of Trump’s order. The wartime act, rarely invoked, allows for the detainment and deportation of enemy nationals and was historically applied during significant military conflicts.

President Trump’s efforts to address the presence of Tren de Aragua through the Alien Enemies Act have faced immediate legal challenges. The intervention by the court highlights the complex intersection of immigration policy and wartime authority. As the legal proceedings unfold, the implications for such unprecedented measures in peacetime remain significant for immigration enforcement in the United States.
