Applaud Ruling Against Trump’s Alien Enemies Act Abuse

In a landmark decision, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Donald Trump’s attempt to misuse the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants was unlawful. The court made clear that this sweeping wartime authority cannot be twisted into a tool for mass deportations — rejecting Trump’s claim that ordinary immigration challenges amount to an “invasion.”

This ruling is a powerful defense of the Constitution and the separation of powers. The judges reaffirmed that Congress — not the president — holds the authority over tariffs, taxes, and, critically, immigration powers of this scale. Trump’s attempt to militarize immigration enforcement under the guise of an “emergency” was not only reckless but unconstitutional.

By blocking Trump’s unlawful use of the Alien Enemies Act, the court has protected due process, checked executive overreach, and defended immigrant communities from being targeted under false pretenses.

Add your name to applaud this vital decision, defend the rule of law, and stand against Trump’s dangerous misuse of presidential power!
