A federal judge delivered a major victory for President Trump’s immigration agenda this week, ruling his administration can use the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan gang members. The decision marks a critical step toward securing America’s borders and cracking down on violent foreign criminals.
Judge Stephanie Haines, a Trump appointee, rejected activist judges’ attempts to block deportations of Tren de Aragua members. She confirmed the gang’s brutal incursion into U.S. communities meets the legal standard for invoking the 1798 wartime law. This commonsense ruling puts American safety first while ensuring basic fairness.
Far-left judges in New York, Texas, and Colorado had tried to sabotage Trump’s efforts by demanding unreasonable “evidence” of an invasion. But Haines saw through the swamp games. She ordered the administration to give migrants 21 days’ notice and a chance to plead their case—more than enough time for gangsters to hide or flee.
The Tren de Aragua thugs have terrorized American neighborhoods with drug trafficking, sex crimes, and murders. While Democrats push open borders, Trump is actually cleaning up the mess. Deporting these predators isn’t just legal—it’s moral. Patriots know ignoring the law gets people killed.
Media elites and Biden-era bureaucrats claim Trump is “abusing power,” but Haines’ ruling proves otherwise. The Alien Enemies Act was designed for exactly this scenario: protecting citizens from foreign threats. Weak-kneed globalists would rather coddle criminals than defend U.S. sovereignty.
President Trump praised the decision, vowing to “remove every gang rat poisoning our country.” His administration has already deported over 1,000 Tren de Aragua affiliates this year alone. Meanwhile, blue-city mayors keep releasing illegal aliens who attack police and rape children.
Hardworking Americans are fed up with chaos at the border. They want leaders who enforce laws, not apologize for lawlessness. This ruling shows Trump’s unwavering commitment to the rule of law—and the left’s desperation to stop him at any cost.
The fight isn’t over. Radical groups will appeal, but Trump’s legal team is ready. November’s election will decide whether America remains a nation of laws or becomes a lawless wasteland. Patriots stand with Trump to take back our streets and restore order.
