Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration's Deportation of Venezuelan Gang Members

Judge James Boasberg temporarily halts deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, citing concerns of irreparable harm to individuals targeted as gang members.

• U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued a temporary restraining order halting the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang.
• The ruling requires deportation flights already in the air to return to the United States, with the judge emphasizing the need to prevent potential harm to those being deported.
• The Trump administration designated the Tren de Aragua gang as a foreign terrorist organization and invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to expedite deportations.
• Republican Congressman Brandon Gill announced plans to file articles of impeachment against Judge Boasberg, accusing him of judicial overreach.
• The Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, has filed an emergency appeal to overturn the judge's order, describing it as a threat to public safety.
