17.03.2025 โข Deportation Day Under Alien Enemies Act
โจThe White House officially confirmed that 137 immigrants had been deported under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, marking a concrete implementation of the policy first announced two days prior. This confirmation follows the legal conflict that emerged on March 16, when a federal judge had blocked deportation flights and ordered them to return to the US.
The deportations represent an escalation in the Trump administration's immigration enforcement, occurring in parallel with the ongoing administrative restructuring that has characterized recent days. The use of the centuries-old Alien Enemies Act specifically targeting Venezuelan gang members continues the pattern of aggressive policy implementation that has marked the administration's actions across multiple fronts.
These deportations took place against the backdrop of recent deadly tornado outbreaks across multiple states and ongoing political fallout from Senate Democrats' fracturing over the government funding bill that passed with bipartisan support.
