President Donald Trump is at odds with a judge named James Boasberg (whose nickname, amusingly, is “Jeb”) who is trying to stop Trump’s deportation flights.
Boasberg ordered Trump’s deportation flights to stop, saying that Trump can’t use the Alien Enemies Act to deport the invaders. Boasberg is trying to mess with a clearly-established presidential authority, and the Trump team is not playing nice with the activist judge.
Of course, Boasberg was appointed to judicial positions in the past by both George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Boasberg now serves as chief judge of U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.
According to The New York Times:
“In a brazen show of defiance, Justice Department lawyers told a federal judge he should call off a 5 p.m. Eastern time hearing to examine whether the White House had violated a court order in deporting migrants with little to no due process, and asked an appeals court to remove him from the case. The lawyers told the judge, James E. Boasberg, that there was no reason for anyone to come to court because the administration was not going to provide him with any further information about the deportation flights. The judge denied their request.”
The Alien Enemies Act has been around since 1798
“Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That whenever there shall be a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion shall be perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States, by any foreign nation or government, and the President of the United States shall make public proclamation of the event, all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or government, being males of the age of fourteen years and upwards, who shall be within the United States, and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured and removed, as alien enemies,” states the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
Will President Trump have to take this case to the U.S. Supreme Court? If so, it might be an uphill battle, considering that John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett are both RINO’s, even though the Alien Enemies Act clearly gives Trump the rightful and righteous power to deport invaders.
