The 5th Circuit?

Trump's use of the 1790s era Alien Enemies act to strip due process from the deportation process has been challenged in a number of courts, and we finally have an appellate court ruling blocking this.

Basically, they called bullsh%$ on Trump unilaterally declaring a state of war, which is required for the act.

The odd bit is that this ruling came from the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals.

You remember the  5th Circuit?  They are the Neanderthal judges covering Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

And THEY called bullsh%$ on Trump:

A court ruling that blocked Donald Trump from invoking the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans he alleged were part of a criminal gang has been hailed as “a victory for the rule of law”.

In a 2-1 decision on Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the fifth US circuit court of appeals issued a preliminary injunction that prevents the Trump administration using the 1798 law to justify rapid deportations.

Circuit judge Leslie Southwick, writing for the majority, rejected the administration’s assertion that the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had engaged in a “predatory incursion” on US soil.

The Alien Enemies Act gives the government expansive powers to detain and deport citizens of hostile foreign nations, but only in times of war or during an “invasion or predatory incursion”.

(emphasis mine)

If these folks are pushing back, everyone is pushing back. 

Well, everyone but Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and the 6 corrupt justices of the Supreme Court.
