Appeals Court Rules Against Trump’s Usage of Wartime Deportation Act
On Tuesday, an appeals court ruled that President Trump cannot use the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal immigrants. The President had been using the eighteenth century law to swiftly deport migrants suspected of being members of Tren de Aragua.

From Fox News:
In a 2-1 ruling, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with immigrant rights lawyers and lower court judges who argued the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 was not created to be used against gangs like Tren de Aragua.
“The Trump administration’s use of a wartime statute during peacetime to regulate immigration was rightly shut down by the court,” Lee Gelernt, who argued the case for the American Civil Liberties Union, said. “This is a critically important decision reining in the administration’s view that it can simply declare an emergency without any oversight by the courts.”
The Alien Enemies Act was previously used only three times in U.S. history, and all came during declared wars in the War of 1812 and the two World Wars.
For its part, the Trump administration has argued that Tren de Aragua is connected to the Venezuelan government and poses serious danger to the United States. Therefore, the administration claims, President Trump has the authority to deport illegal immigrants under the wartime act.
This is a setback to the President’s immigration agenda, but it’s not final. Fox notes the decision can be appealed to the Supreme Court, which has ruled in favor of the current administration before.
As the President continues to fight to keep our nation safe, let’s pray for him and his administration!

I believe the supreme court ruling is wrong. The key words here are “illegal immigrants”. Is there any other country in this world that allows illegal immigrants into their country without “vetting” them.
Isaiah 13 : 6- 16
Wail, for the day of the Lord is near! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. Therefore all hand will fall limp, And every man ‘s heart will melt! They will be terrified. Pains and anguish will take hold of them. They will writhe Like a woman in Labor, They will look at one another in astonishment, Their faces aflame. Behold, the day of the Lord is coming. Cruel, with fury and burning anger, to make the land a desolation; and He will exterminate its sinners from it. For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not flash forth their lights. The sun will be dark when it rises And the moon will not shed its light. Thus I will punish the world for its evil And the wicked for their iniquity.
So God will punish the evil people. So therefore Tren de Aragua, is evil. If God will punish them, why would our US 5th circuit Court side with evil people.?? I am NOT talking about ALL the poor immigrants who were deceived, by our previous administration. ??!!! So praying that they would die to self, pray and ask Jesus what should be done. The US, no place, can survive without Jesus. We, the US. Needs to obey Jesus, for every one’s survival. In Jesus’s Name Amen
We must keep a safety prayer covering over the President, his family, cabinet and all members of his teams in all areas to fight for the United States’ safety. There must be a loud and pervasive declaration and stand that Jesus is Lord and if America will come and or return to Father God we will have a chance; otherwise, we will loose it all.
Lastly, it is very apparent that the Fifth US Circuit Court of Appeals does not care to protect our nation from dangerous gangs and all other invaders. Any and all evil invaders are declaring war on our country!
President Trump is saving the USA by God’s grace. May the Supreme Court be able to see that.
Lord, we thank You for the continued work to secure our nation. Please continue to guide and direct President Trump and this administration. Give voice and comfort to those who have been harmed by evil and wicked acts against innocent US citizens. Let them know they have not been forsaken. Let Your word of truth reign over us. In Jesus mighty name. Amen.
Wicked judges and wicked lawyers supporting wicked crime elements terrorizing American citizens… American citizens HAVE been forsaken by wicked lawyers and judges.
But not forsaken by YHVH!
What he wants he gets.
As dictators always do.
I fully support President Trump’s efforts to protect American citizens from illegal aliens in our country by deporting them swiftly.
These judicial roadblocks are the Lefts way of stopping our duly elected President and Commander in Chief from doing what “we the people” elected him to do.
I thank our GOD for exposing evil in our government, our judiciary and our law enforcement
My young Father was killed in WWII–and now at 84 years of age, I have lived for 83 year as an orphan.
Forget what the court says: Ask the widows and orphans of men murdered by these evil invaders what they think.
As for me, I would say without a doubt: GET RID OF THESE EVIL INVADERS BEFORE THEY MAKE MANY MORE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS IN THIS LAND OF THE BRAVE AND THE HOME OF THE FREE! LIFE IS PRECIOUS! PROTECT YOUR OWN PEOPLE AMERICA FROM THIS DEADLY INVASION!
President Trump should not even have to use this law. Illegal aliens are not citizens; they have come here illegally and have no right to stay. President Trump should be able to have them deported without an argument. Why is he condemned when no one said anything about past presidents deporting illegal aliens? I pray for the safety of our country and our citizens. I pray that those who come in illegally would repent and come to you, who are merciful and kind. God put borders around countries and people have put borders around their houses. I pray God protects our country.
Good! President Trump is Constitutionally limited
And, you, sir, are limited in your understanding of the situation. These murderous rogues should NOT be allowed to stay in this country, not even for one day. You will change your point of view overnight if one of these rogues attacks you or your beloved family member. Thank GOD for Mr. Trump. The commandment “Thou shalt not murder. . .” includes the understanding that thou shalt do all you can do to protect innocent people from being murdered!

I think Satan is working overtime. Praise you God for the Victory! You crushed his head in the garden!
Again it seems like the enemy of our soul has won a victory.However, God is not mocked.He is the great I AM! American is becoming a beacon of Light for the whole world to see,and nothing can or will stop His love for America.Every evil and false accusation shall be exposed befor the world. Amen.
The judicial branch of government needs to take it’s seat. It does not make rules. We need to be saved from such terrorists and violent criminals that have come into our country. Preserve the peace and security for the American people. No compromise. American citizens don’t need to be terrorized so criminals have rights and walk all over us, take our money and kill us. Wake up. What would George Washington do, even President Kennedy or even Obama and Hillary when they were in office. Please go for reprogramming for Trump derrangment syndrome, and renew your mind with the word of God. Are you concerned for our innocent women and children? Who will rise up? God have mercy on us and show us, protect us and give us wisdom.
Lord God, we pray for ” justice to be the measuring line” in every courtroom in America. We pray judges will be filled with your wisdom and make righteous decisions in line with our constitution. May rogue judges with an agenda to fight President Trump in all he is doing to make our country safe again, be removed from their bench and replaced with judges who will follow our constitution!
The current ruling makes sense. There must be another way to deport criminals.
Lee is wrong. Where was he while the biden administration illegally open up our borders so that any and all gangs could do whatever they wanted. The blood of all who have been murdered by these gangs or illegals is on all lawyers, judges, and politicians who care more about the criminals than American citizens. Shame on you all for your actions. The day of judgement is coming so repent so that you might save your soul from eternal damnation. I trust in God.
These judges don’t care about America. It is another get Donald Trump moment. Let him do the job we hired him to do! Lord, protect President Trump and put a stop to all this nonsense continually thrown at him. In Jesus name. Amen
With all the lawyers working for the US government, why hasn’t Pam Bondi or assistant attorneys in the Justice Department filed ethics complaints against every rogue lawyer and judge supporting rogue terrorists. A lot of this may stop if rogue lawyers and judges face disciplinary actions including disbarment, removal from judicial duties, etc.
Lord I pray for the protection of the Supreme Court Justices, both physically and spiritually. Please give them the Security they need and strengthen their hearts with your Grace. May they not be intimidated. “He shall give His Angels charge over thee…” Psalm 91.
The Maduro Regime is using TDA as shock troops to undermine America. He is working with Chinese Communists, Hezzbollah terrorists and Narco traffickers. Any “Judge” defending TDA is under the influence of Jezebel’s Woke Witchcraft. God release Your Sword of Justice and overrule this in the Supreme Court. Restore God fearing Judges who are able to discern truth and separate it from error. Protect the Supreme Court Judges from Jezebel’s Woke Witchcraft in Yeshua’s Mighty Name. I curse you satan by the blood of Yeshua,The Lord Reigns🔥🇺🇸🦅
I agree!!!
Heavenly Father,
I ask that you would keep President Donald trump and his family and advisors strong as they stand for America’s best interest. I pray that would give good sense to the Supreme Court Judges and I prayer they would stand for America and It’s citizens.
Love and Thank you,
Pam Beach
What does Congress need to do – declare war on drug cartels? And perhaps the ACLU? YHVH, perhaps the deepest issue is that so many cannot recognize friend or foe any longer, even truth or deception – has the wool been pulled over the eyes of so many by “wolves in sheep’s clothing”? It feels like many want America to commit suicide. I’m thankful for President Trump and his administration and I ask that You continue to strengthen them and grant them wisdom and discernment and whatever tools they need to succeed in ridding our nation of TeA.
I agree!!!
It’s a CA liberal court that will rule automatically against any truth or the US Constitution. The President will have to go to the Supreme Court to get it lifted. We have a Constitutional crisis in America with the leftist leaning courts ruling against Constitutional powers. We need to pray that they turn back to the Constitution, and not continue with dogma.
Lord, we ask for protection for our country, our President and those who work with him, and ask that you bring us back together so that we may face the external and internal threats together as one nation under God
Jody….”CA liberal court…”…..more like CA heathen court…only heathens condone leftist heathen activity by heathen criminal gangs and individuals…
The rule of law is to be cherished by God’s people, even when it does not suit your political preference. Judges decide on the evidence not conspiracy theories of the ‘right’.
Love of neighbour includes those who may despise us or ill treat us – including our enemies. Fear of the ‘ other’ is potent politics but not Christianity.
Crime is more likely to be committed by American citizens rather than immigrants – is not that what the statistics show. America has an unappareled history of violence, genocide and destruction of indigenous people, slavery, segregation, racism, economic injustice – all done by citizens.
ILLEGALS ARE NOT IMMIGRANTS, THEY DID NOT COME IN WITH LEGAL IMMIGRATION PAPERS, THEREFOR THEY ARE CRIMINALS AND THE ENEMY OF THE STATE AND OF OUR COUNTRY !!
YAHWEH PROTECT US FROM FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC ENEMIES! WE STAND WITH OUR PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP AND THE TRUMP TEAM.
We really need these judges to see past themselves and to see the destructive results of their resistance from our view.
God, we ask You to protect us from dangerous foreign gangs that wish to harm us. We pray Tren de Aragua would have no place in America!
Bind us together with your love. Thank you for your grace and mercy Lord.
Amen

They absolutely ruled in favor of illegal and dangerous criminals and NOT for the protection of our citizens. I pray every day for this evil to be bound and for His Hand to protect Trump, true Patriots and politicians. And, our young.
It would seem that the nefariously funded drug cartels are acting like a very well equipped enemy “nation” attempting to break down and destroy Americans – our children, our families, our cities. If you boil it down, our president is reflecting the traits of a dedicated father who is vigorously working to remove what’s harming those most important to him, his American family. My prayer is, “Father, please provide us with leaders who have the courage to fix the problems we face and give them the tools they need to stop the erosion and ultimate destruction of our free democratic society.”
America is seeing a very different kind of warfare. “We wrestle not against flesh and blood, ….” As Christians, prayer and praise are our weapons. As President, Donald Trump has to use prayer, supernatural wisdom, courage and the tools in his bag. “Lord, please protect our leader, guide his thoughts and give him the necessary tools to do the job. In Jesus name, amen.”
AMEN AND AMEN!!!!! WELL SAID!!!
It is such a shame that our President is being scrutinized and condemned for every action that he does regarding the illegal alien issue. All the Dems can do is to continually attempt to make President Trump look like a pariah. It is time to allow the man to do his job that he was elected to do!!! Lord Jesus, may justice be served in this matter.
I will continue to pray for President Trump. God has given him insight and wisdom to protect our country from those who would do us harm be it sexual exploitation of children; drugs and only God knows what else.
There is a way for people to legally come into our country. They are vetted and must go through the citizenship process. ( My friends from Havana were on a honeymoon here years ago. While they were here, Castro took over. She told me there was no going back. They contributed to our country.)
