Scott 🇮🇱🇺🇦🗽<p>Background:</p><p>US District Judge Boasberg issued a TRO prohibiting the government from deporting <a href="https://babka.social/tags/migrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>migrants</span></a> under the Alien Enemies Act (passed in 1798 as part of the legislative package historians refer to as the Alien &amp; Sedition Acts).</p><p>In an extraordinary move (albeit one that this administration is frequently employing), defendants (the government) appealed the TRO. A TRO (temporary restraining order) is normally not appealable. </p><p>Result: </p><p>Today, a 2-1 ruling by a panel of the US <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Court" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Court</span></a> of <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Appeals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Appeals</span></a> for the District of Columbia slammed the government's case, finding it "unlikely" that the government would prevail in a full hearing on the merits. The court declined to reverse the TRO.</p><p>The dissenter is a judge appointed by <a href="https://babka.social/tags/RedDon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RedDon</span></a> in his first term. </p><p>This is all procedural jousting. Though highly consequential, it's preliminary to a hearing and final judgement on the merits of the suit itself.</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigration</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/constitution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>constitution</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/AEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AEA</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Venezuela" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Venezuela</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/impeach47" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>impeach47</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Amerika" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amerika</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.41844/gov.uscourts.cadc.41844.01208724047.0_3.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">storage.courtlistener.com/reca</span><span class="invisible">p/gov.uscourts.cadc.41844/gov.uscourts.cadc.41844.01208724047.0_3.pdf</span></a></p>
