A federal judge has permanently barred the #Trump admin from using the #AlienEnemiesAct, an 18th century wartime #law, to deport #Venezuelans it has deemed to be *criminals* from the judge’s home district in southern #Texas to a prison in #ElSalvador.
The decision by the judge, Fernando Rodriguez Jr., a Trump appointee, was the most expansive ruling so far by any of the 8 federal jurists who are currently hearing challenges to the use of the statute as part of its wide-ranging #deportation plans
