| Federal Judge Just Handed Trump a Huge Win. Here's What It Means for His Immigration Policy. | |
| 2025-05-14 | |
| [The Hill] A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Trump can invoke the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) to remove Tren de Aragua members but determined the administration has provided insufficient notice before carrying out the deportations. U.S. District Judge Stephanie Haines’s ruling contrasts with several other federal judges who have ruled Trump illegally invoked the wartime statute. She says Trump is within his rights to deport members of a foreign terrorist organization — a designation he has made for Tren de Aragua. Haines, a Trump appointee, emphasized her "unflagging obligation is to apply the law as written."
