I strongly agree with Elie's five-alarm-fire take. And I respectfully but firmly disagree with those who think today's disastrous decision will be fairly easy for lawyers to work around.

This is Hugo. He has liked to wave since he was a pup. Proud to say he has never missed a chance to say hello. 13/10
a person with long blond hair holds a black lab puppy in their arms. the pup has one front paw hooked over the person’s arm, and the pup has his other front paw lifted straight up in a polite wave, all matching black toe beans on display.a full-grown black lab sits in a bright grassy soccer field under a slightly cloudy sky and lifts one front paw up in a polite wave. the pup’s beans are substantially larger than before, and he’s obviously ambidextrous, because he’s waving his other paw this time.

This is a big deal—not just a process-based ruling, but a holding that Trump’s Alien Enemy Act proclamation is substantively invalid on its face. This will obviously not be the last word, but it’s a really important step in the AEA litigation.

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.

Through all his troubles, neither the DOJ/FBI nor any state authorities ever subjected Donald Trump to arrest, preferring in every case to proceed by indictment and voluntary surrender. It’s notable that a sitting judge and pillar of the Milwaukee community was not extended the same courtesy.
FBI Director Kash Patel v
Follow
@FBIDirectorKash
Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week.
We believe Judge Dugan intentionally
misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest.
Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he's been in custody since, but the Judge's obstruction created increased danger to the public.
We will have more to share soon. Excellent work @FBIMilwaukee.
