🚨 A Critical Legal Ruling
On Saturday, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ruled that deportations must be paused for two weeks, impacting those targeted by President Trump’s executive order.
✅ Why it matters: The case challenges how immigration laws are enforced and whether the Alien Enemies Act can legally be applied in this situation.
💡 Did you know? The Alien Enemies Act of 1798 was originally created to expel foreign nationals during wartime. Its use today raises major legal questions.
🔹 Boasberg’s Key Statements:
- “There’s clearly irreparable harm here given these folks will be deported.”
