On Monday night, a 5-to-4 majority of the Supreme Court not only dissolved the controversial temporary restraining orders issued by Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, but the high court, in essence, took the case away from him. The court said that the government must give the plaintiffs and any other aliens targeted under the Alien Enemies Act notice “that they are subject to removal under the Act.” And the government must do so “within a reasonable time and in such manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs.” That, of course, ignores the fact that Trump based his proclamation on the second provision of the act that refers not to a state of war, but to an “invasion or predatory incursion.” And she dismissed the extensive language in the proclamation describing TdA as an agent of the Venezuelan government, a narco-terrorist regime that is a “hybrid criminal state that is perpetrating an invasion of and predatory incursion into the United States” through TdA.
