Trump invokes 18th century law to speed deportations, judge stalls it hours later
A federal judge on Saturday barred the administration of President Donald Trump from deportations under an 18th century law that Trump invoked just hours earlier
James E. Boasberg, chief judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said he needed to issue his order immediately because the government was already flying migrants it claimed were newly deportable under Trump’s proclamation to El Salvador and Honduras to be incarcerated there
“I do not believe I can wait any longer and am required to act,” Boasberg said during a Saturday evening hearing in a lawsuit brought by the ACLU and Democracy Forward. “A brief delay in their removal does not cause the government any harm,” he added, noting they remain in government custody but ordering that any planes in the air be turned around
For those wondering.
50 USC § 21
Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or governmentLiterally the first words in the law Trump attempted to use to deport these people. Congress has not declared any war, this is literally our Government falling apart at this point. Congress will do nothing to reel this President who violates the laws on a daily basis.
We are never recovering as a Nation from this. This kind of violation of the order of law in our nation will take a century to heal if not more. The United States as it was is gone, full stop.
Silly bint probably thinks that if he just posts "I DECLARE THIS IS A WAR" on social media then it's a declared war.
No he for sure thinks calling something a war makes it one. He thinks shit like the War on Drugs, are actual wars.
A formal declaration of war requires congressional approval, as outlined in Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution.
Like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy
Well, that is the goal. I think the goal is to create a (US/global) crisis, which allows the powerful (rich) to step in to reshape the society, to fit their agenda better.
I do not think that the Trump administration is simply incompetent, I think they are having a plan, and are executing it and what we see is part of it.
US 1.0 is over. And now over the next decade we'll determine which side gets to write up what the US 2.0 will look like
Isn't it officially still at war with North Korea?
The US has never officially been at war with North Korea, it was (and still is, I guess) a "police action". The last time the US officially declared war was WWII.
