A federal judge says he won’t allow President Donald Trump to protect Americans by removing illegal alien criminals from America’s shores by using an existing federal law, the Alien Enemies Act, in a move that solidifies the perception that he wants to control America’s international policies.
Reports confirmed that James Boasberg, a judge in Washington, Monday denied the Trump administration’s move to lift a temporary block on deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members .
Boasberg insists that the illegal aliens have American right to challenge whether they qualify.
Boasberg, who has his position thanks to Barack Obama, said the Constitution’s due process requirements apply to foreign criminals.
The Trump administration had confirmed that it had reviewed the records and history of the Venezuelans deported and confirmed that were members of the transnational gang Tren de Aragua, which has been identified by U.S. authorities as a terrorist group.
The White House announced earlier this month it was using the existing federal law, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, to remove gang members.
Ultimately, several hundred were flown to El Salvador even though Boasberg had ordered the planes, already in flight in international space, to return the gang members to America.
That case is on appeal, and White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt promised the fight will continue.

As WorldNetDaily reported Sunday, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said this is the case of “an out-of-control judge, a federal judge trying to control our entire foreign policy and he cannot do it. You know, he dragged us into court on a Saturday without any notice and he’s continuing these hearings … He’s trying to ask us about national security information which he absolutely is not entitled to.”
She said the Trump administration is appealing and will win.
She said, “They’re not immigrants,” but are “Illegal aliens committing the most violent crimes on Americans.”
Fox News reported it also appears like Trump will be getting backing from Congress.
“The House Judiciary Committee is expected to hold a hearing early next week looking into the issue of ‘activist judges,’ three people familiar with discussions told Fox News Digital. It comes as the Trump administration has faced more than a dozen injunctions from various district court judges across the country on a range of policy decisions,” the report said.
The issues include illegal aliens crossing into the United States, the wild and anti-science agenda of transgenderism and such in federal programs, the Trump administration effort to eliminate fraud, waste and corruption from the government and many more.
Local judges have taken over the presidential decision-making by issuing a wild array of injunctions for the entire nation, something that Congress is reviewing.
The report noted, “House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, also confirmed on Fox News’ ‘America’s Newsroom’ that he intended to hold hearings on ‘activist judges’ opposing the administration. He said he expects a House-wide vote next week on a bill by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., to block district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions.”
Some members of Congress already are working on impeachment plans for the rogue judges, and there also have been discussions about simply removing the courts’ authority to act on those cases, or even removing funding for those specific courts, which are not required by the Constitution.
