    Why does he have to declare wartime emergency if he has all the tools he needs? I was told we just needed to enforce existing laws. Were we lied to by you and your ilk? :eek:

    Hilarious comment from a guy who voted for a felon to lead our nation.

    Why do you love criminals so much, OP?

    Judge blocks Trump from using wartime Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants

    A federal judge on Saturday night temporarily blocked President Trump from removing immigrants under a wartime law known as the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 after the president announced earlier in the day that he would enforce the law.

    The judge's ruling was in response to a federal civil lawsuit filed Saturday by a group of five Venezuelan men in immigration custody in Texas and New York local jails against President Trump and other administration officials.

    Congratulations, democrats! The Venezuelan gangs can return.

    If you ever wonder why America gave you the boot, it was this kind of stuff.

    If Trump has all the tools he needs, and it’s just enforcement, why does he need wartime powers?

    This is just ridiculous. It brought to mind this Babylon Bee "article".

    Federal Judge Appoints Himself President | Babylon Bee

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA — The Trump Administration agenda was stopped in its tracks this week after a federal judge appointed himself the new President of the United States.

    "There's nothing we can do," said legal experts. "He's a federal judge."

    Sources confirmed that Judge Mortimer Dithers of the Northern District of California granted himself all the powers of the executive branch in an emergency move to stop Trump. "Last night, the Constitution appeared to me in a dream and told me to do this," said Judge Dithers. "You can't argue with that. Also, my word on this is law because I'm a federal judge."

    President Judge Dithers has already issued several executive actions, including orders for Tesla to stop making cars, Elon Musk to punch himself in the face, and Trump to not move his head next time someone shoots at him. "This is the bidding of your new leader," said Judge Dithers. "So let it be done, by the order of your new Federal Judge President."

    So the part about being illegal to do doesn't bother you? Which other parts of the constitution should we suspend for dear leader?

    Which side are you and the rest of the democrats on? The immigrant criminals or the American people? You seem to be quite happy that the judge found in favor of the immigrant criminals.

    I'm on the side of following the law.

    How about you? Make it up as you go to support your goal?

    Which parts of the constitution should Trump be able to ignore?

    The potus already had all the power and legal authority necessary to deport people. It is an overreach of historical proportions to invoke the alien enemies act.

    Does anyone know what the administration plans to argue in court on this one? Do they actually think it is viable? Or is it just bluster they knew that would be struck down?

    That we are being invaded. That is the trigger that grants the power.

    Such a broken record. It appears it's much easier for you to post those lines over and over than address the point and substance of the threads that "make [you] laugh." You evidently prefer to repeatedly crow about 'your' victory than contribute anything worthy of discussion.

    This is a good summation of how the J6ers were denied due process
