NEW: In a SCATHING decision, Judge Briones of the Western District of Texas absolutely SAVAGED the government over this case, tearing to shreds ICE’s hearsay “evidence” that this husband and wife were in Tren de Aragua as “completely and wholly unsubstantiated” — and ordered their immediate release!
3. Conclusion
It is this Court's finding that Respondents' Response and testimony was replete with
conclusions, declarations, and accusations, by anything
meaningful in the record. Respondents have been unable to convince the Court by even a preponderance of the evidence, let alone clear, unequivocal, and convincing evidence required, that Petitioners Sanchez Garcia and Sanchez Puentes are members of Tren de Aragua, and therefore has not shown this Court that they are properly designated "alien enemies" under the AEA pursuant the TdA Proclamation.

there's been such a firehose of bad news that many changes in the criminal legal system have gone underreported - like the police misconduct database being axed, Bondi's sentencing memos, etc. join me & these smart people 4/30 to talk about the under the radar stuff! us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
While headlines have focused on high-profile executive orders and political battles, the first 100 days of the Trump administration have also brought quieter—but consequential—changes to the criminal legal system. Hear from Alejandro Fernandez, a Georgia federal public defender, Jessica Pishko, attorney and author of The Highest Law in the Land, and Wanda Bertram, communications strategist at the Prison Policy Initiative on under-the-radar changes shaping policing, prosecution, and incarceration across the country.

The panel is on Zoom, Weds., April 30, from 12-1 EST.

1. This is a false choice. We can do both. 2. These issues can be unified. Trump is acting like a mad king, doing crazy stuff unilaterally without regard for the law, the courts or Congress. If he can do it to an immigrant, he can do it to you — and with tariffs, he *is* doing it to you.

🚨UPDATE: New evidence filed by the ACLU last night shows that the Trump administration is going forward with more Alien Enemies Act deportations in seeming violation of the Supreme Court's clear command that people be provided a "meaningful" opportunity to seek judicial review.
As detailed in the Brown Declaration, in the hours after this Court’s order on the TRO, Attorney Brown’s client, F.G.M., was approached by ICE officers, accused of being a member of Tren de Aragua, and told to sign papers in English. Exh. A (Brown Decl.) ¶ 3. F.G.M. understands only Spanish, and he refused to sign. ICE told him the papers “were coming from the President, and that he will be deported even if he did not sign it.” Id. Another Venezuelan man who is detained at Bluebonnet and speaks English then read the notice to Attorney Brown, and the notice tracks the language of the Alien Enemies Act: “In the notice, it classified F.G.M. as a TdA gang member” who “must be removed” from the United States. Id. F.G.M., like other men against whom the Alien Enemies Act has already been used, does not have a final order of removal and is therefore not removable under the immigration laws. See id. The notice was not provided to counsel by the government, not did the government inform Attorney Brown that her client was being designated under the AEA
