President Trump Refuses To Turn Planes Around Carrying Enemy Aliens, Defies Imperial Judiciary: https://dailytorch.com/2025/03/president-trump-refuses-to-turn-planes-around-carrying-enemy-aliens-defies-imperial-judiciary/

President Donald Trump on March 15 issued a proclamation declaring that Venezuelan-sponsored terrorist drug cartel gangs including Tren de Aragua — so declared as terrorist organizations on Jan. 20 by executive order in accordance with 8 U.S. Code Sec. 1189, “Designation of foreign terrorist organizations,” — were engaged in an illegal invasion and thereby being subjected to the 1798 Alien Enemy Act. The law, 50 U.S. Code Sec. 21, provides that upon presidential proclamation that “any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government” that “The President is authorized… to provide for the removal of those who, not being permitted to reside within the United States, refuse or neglect to depart therefrom…” The proclamation stated “Tren de Aragua (TdA) is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization with thousands of members, many of whom have unlawfully infiltrated the United States and are conducting irregular warfare and undertaking hostile actions against the United States. As a result of the proclamation, some 250 such enemy aliens were put on planes and promptly removed to El Salvador as the ink was drying from Trump’s proclamation. The planes took off at 5:45 p.m. EST, according to a summary by JustSecurity.org’s Ryan Goodman. Then, at around 6:53 p.m., U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered that the planes, by then, already in international airspace, to turn around and bring the enemy aliens back to the U.S. The injunction said the plaintiffs arguments that the deportations were a violation of the 1952 and 1965 Immigration and Nationality Acts were likely to succeed. There’s just one problem. Neither the 1952 nor 1965 acts ever repealed the Alien Enemy Act, which is only invoked by a president upon a declaration of war or a presidential proclamation that there is an invasion. If allowed to stand, Judge Boasberg’s ruling, by hampering the ability of the President to wage war when Congress has authorized that he may to repel an invasion, by definition poses a threat to national security. What’s next, if President Trump orders air strikes somewhere, a judge will issue a ruling saying the F-16s have to turn back? In essence, President Trump defied what at this point can only be called an imperial judiciary, and Trump is going to let the chips fall where they may.
