Trump on his faith advisers: "They work right out of the White House. That's never been done before. No other president allowed that. They say 'separation between church and state.' I said, alright, let's forget about that for one time."

BREAKING: Federal judge finds that Trump exceeded his authority in his Alien Enemies Act proclamation addressing alleged members of Tren de Aragua, issuing a permanent injunction barring AEA proclamation-based removals from the Southern District of Texas.
Neither the Court nor the parties question the Executive Branch's authority and responsibility to enforce federal laws and, along with local law enforcement agencies, to protect 1 / 36 Case 1:25-cv-00072 Document 58 Filed on 05/01/25 in TXSD Page 2 of 36 the nation's population. Neither the Court nor the parties question that the Executive Branch can direct the detention and removal of aliens who engage in criminal activity in the United States. The Executive Branch has and will continue to rely on the Immigration and Nationality Act to remove aliens found to represent a danger to the country. The question that this lawsuit presents is whether the President can utilize a specific statute, the AEA, to detain and remove Venezuelan aliens who are members of TdA. As to that question, the historical record renders clear that the President's invocation of the AEA through the Proclamation exceeds the scope of the statute and is contrary to the plain, ordinary meaning of the statute's terms. As a result, the Court concludes that as a matter of law, the Executive Branch cannot rely on the AEA, based on the Proclamation, to detain the Named Petitioners and the certified class, or to remove them from the country.' Case 1:25-cv-00072 Document 59 Filed on 05/01/25 in TXSD Page 1 of 1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS BROWNSVILLE DIVISION ENTERED May 01, 2025 Nathan Ochsner, Clerk J.A.V., et al., Petitioners, son con con VS. CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:25-CV-072 DONALD J. TRUMP, et al., Respondents. FINAL JUDGMENT AND PERMANENT INJUNCTION In accordance with the Court's Order and Opinion granting class certification (Doc. 57) and its Order and Opinion granting summary judgment (Doc. 58), the Court enters final judgment in favor of Petitioners J.A.V., J.G.G., W.G.H., and the members of the certified class. Accordingly, it is: ORDERED that the Class Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus (Doc. 1) is GRANTED; and ORDERED that Respondents are permanently enjoined from detaining, transferring, or removing J.A.V., J.G.G., W.G.H., and the members of the certified class, under the Alien Enemies Act, 50 U.S.C. § 21, and based on the Presidential Proclamation, "Invocation of the Alien Enemies Act Regarding the Invasion of the United States by Tren de Aragua," 90 Fed. Reg. 13033. This permanent injunction does not prohibit Respondents from proceeding with removal proceedings or otherwise acting against J.A.V., J.G.G., W.G.H., and the members of the certified class, based on the Immigration and Nationality Act, including under any final order of removal. This Final Judgment and Permanent Injunction does not enjoin Respondent Donald Trump in his official duties as President of the United States. See Franklin v. Massachusetts, 505 U.S. 788, 802 (1992).
