“The Court grants Petitioners’ motion for a preliminary injunction against removal. This Opinion gives the reasons. It discusses the whole of the AEA, and shows that the Presidential Proclamation, in mandating removal without due process, contradicts the AEA. The Opinion goes on to discuss the requirements of notice and hearing under both the AEA and the Constitution. And it concludes that since Respondents have not demonstrated the existence of a ‘war,’ ‘invasion’ or ‘predatory incursion,’ the AEA was not validly invoked by the Presidential Proclamation,” writes New York Circuit Court Judge Alvin Hellerstein in a ruling issued Tuesday blocking the removal of two anonymous Venezuelan plaintiffs to the CECOT gulag in El Salvador. Hellerstein follows Texas federal Judge Fernando Rodriguez in finding that there’s no state of war with Venezuela, thus migrants from there definitionally cannot be “alien enemies” sent by the Maduro regime in the MAGA version of the story.
