I doubt impeachment would do anything. Trump owns the record for impeachments and it hasnt stopped him. Many love him when he tells them what they want to hear.

Trump won an electoral landslide promising to do…..exactly what he is doing.
Though I am not surprised a life long narcissist didn't vote for Trump or appreciate his current actions.
Maybe it's time for you to return to Cambodia or Mexico with some of your retirement cash and resume your search for true 'love'.
Deportation means being sent home.Osodecentx said:In Hamdi v. Rumsfeld (2004), the Court held that Americans detained as enemy combatants, even outside the United States, had a right to challenge in court their detention by the executive branch.Redbrickbear said:Osodecentx said:
Does the president, under the Alien Enemy Act of 1798, have the authority to unilaterally order the removal of a class of aliens from the United States, without judicial review, when the nation is not at war and the courts are open and functioning,
Lincoln did just that…
The civilian courts were in operation…yet he detained men with no charge and other threw into military courts.
And these were American citizens….not foreigners

(for the record I agree that anyone, Citizen or Non-Citizen, detained by the Federal government for a long period of time has the right to challenge that detention in Court)
Funny you mention that. Last week I turned in my resignation effective at the end of May. By June 1st I will be living in a nice 17th floor condo with a balcony view of the mountains on one side and the sea on the other. I weighed less today than I have weighed since high school football. I will see all the historic sites in Cambodia, visit Veitnam for the first time and revisit Laos. I am excited. One of my grandsons will join me for a month. Thanks for your interest.
Just turned down an invitation to join some old friends in Portugal beginning May 1st.
Dearly wanted to go as they are a fun bunch to travel with.
However my 8 year old grandson is having his First Holy Communion May 3rd and he asked me to be his sponsor weeks ago.
Wouldn't miss participating in his ceremony for the world.
You and I have dramatically different priorities.

Concur. Article 3 judges have lifetime appointments. That can be pretty bad for your personality. Some of them develop massive egos, with no one in their sphere to challenge them at all. Go ahead and let them know that if they go too far they will be put through the paces.BearFan33 said:I don't think waste of time even though they likely wont get removed. The public airing of the various judge's conflicts of interest and in some case corruption would be valuable. Let the judges answer questions under oath and see what they have to say. Who are influencing the judges, who are they communicating with? Make a spectacle out of it like the democrats would. Right now the resistance has been established at the district court level. The activists are running amok with nothing to restrain their behavior. The rule of law is being trampled so they can stop Trumps agenda. SCOTUS is obviously not going to get involved, so the only remedy is impeachment. Drag a few of the worst actors through the process and maybe the activism decreases overall,KaiBear said:ScottS said:

Zero chance the judge gets impeached.
Waste of time.
However the vast majority of Americans appreciate Trumps attitude here. They want these criminals out of the country regardless of the games leftists are playing in the courts.
BTW there are many examples throughout US history of presidents acting decisively while ignoring federal court decisions.
Yes the judge who demanded the planes turn around and bring back the criminals definitely has a God complex. He also has conflicts of interest and was the judge in charge of the FISA court that approved spying on Trump. In reality he should be recused from anything Trump related.Robert Wilson said:Concur.

Yes, he's probably incapable of being impartial. But it's very difficult to get a judge removed for something like that.

I think impeachment is the only path. May get charged by the House. Won't get convicted by the Senate. But it won't be fun for him, and a lot of things will come out through that process. Should make judges think twice before going too far with their exercise of authority.
Can this actually happen?
Lots of noise about impeachment. We must study every ruling & act accordingly w/ everything on the table (noting: 14 Dem votes required in Senate.). But, more fertile ground… 1) House can pass a resolution stating there is/was an invasion, 2) we can defund radical courts.

Tren de Aragua are monsters
They are lucky that the U.S. Government is just deporting them....and not disappearing them into a hole in the Arizona desert
The British in the 1800s would have just hung them from a public gallows...the Romans would have crucified them along a highway
They are no better than pirates and raiders by international law and custom
A literal bunch of child pimping murdering transnational narco-terrorists responsible for thousands of deaths.
[Tren de Aragua, Spanish for "the train of Aragua" was founded in the Tocorn prison, in the central Venezuelan state of Aragua.
From behind bars, its leaders ordered robberies, kidnappings, and murders.
But as Venezuela sank into its worst economic meltdown in history and crime became less lucrative, the Tren de Aragua branched out overseas. It recruited new gang members from among the 8 million Venezuelans who had fled the country's economic crisis. Initially, it established criminal cells in neighboring Colombia, Peru and Chile, where it smuggled drugs and people and operated extortion rackets and prostitution rings.
The Tren de Aragua eventually expanded to the United States, which is home to about 700,000 Venezuelan migrants. Besides a wave of robberies, the Tren de Aragua is suspected in the shooting of two New York Police officers and the killing of a former Venezuelan police officer in Florida.
The Tren de Aragua's most notorious alleged crime was the 2024 killing of Ronald Ojeda, a former Venezuelan army officer who conspired against Nicols Maduro, the country's authoritarian leader, then fled to Chile. Suspected gang members dressed as Chilean police officers abducted Ojeda from his apartment. Days later, his lifeless body was found stuffed in a suitcase and buried in cement.]

Those who want to destroy the traditional culture of the United States brought these millions of illegals into our country. Thousands of whom were criminals and have been attacking our citizens and our institutions.
Now they are the same ones trying to prevent Trump from deporting these ILLEGALS.
Yet there are millions of incredibly stupid Americans still criticizing Trump for his efforts. Dems for life. Even if an illegal shortens that life.

Quote:
Plaintiff-Petitioner J.G.G. is a Venezuelan national who is detained at El Valle Detention Center in Texas and who, upon information and belief, is at imminent risk of removal under the expected Proclamation. J.G.G. is seeking asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT protection because he fears being killed, arbitrarily imprisoned, beaten and tortured by Venezuelan police since they have done so previously to him. During an interview with ICE, he was detained because the officer erroneously suspected that J.G.G. was a Tren de Aragua member on account of his tattoos. J.G.G. is a professional tattoo artist, and his two tattoos, a rose and skull on his leg, which cover a monkey tattoo that he no longer liked, and an eye with a clock inside it, which a fellow tattoo artist applied as practice - neither are associated with Tren de Aragua. While he was awaiting a hearing on the merits of his applications for protection in Adelanto, California, J.G.G. was awakened at 2:00 am on March 6, 2025, and he was told that he was being released and that he had to sign documents that were available only in English to receive his property. J.G.G. then signed documents under false pretense. Instead of being released, J.G.G. was abruptly and without explanation transferred to El Valle Detention Center in Texas. While in El Valle, he was awakened at 3:00 am on March 14, 2025, and told without explanation that he was going to be transferred elsewhere. He was not transferred because the plane had malfunctioned. J.G.G. fears
that he will be removed under the Proclamation because he has tattoos, despite not being involved whatsoever with Tren de Aragua and despite his ongoing asylum proceedings.
Plaintiff-Petitioner J.A.V. is a Venezuelan national who is detained at El Valle Detention Center in Texas, and who, upon information and belief, is at imminent risk of removal under the expected Proclamation. J.A.V. Decl. J.A.V. is seeking asylum because of his political views and fear of harm and mistreatment from multiple criminal groups, including Tren de Aragua. At his asylum interview on February 27, 2025, he was arrested and interrogated by ICE, during which time ICE questioned him about Tren de Aragua. J.A.V. is not and has never been a member of Tren de Aragua - he was in fact victimized by that group and the group is the reason he cannot return to Venezuela.
Plaintiff-Petitioner W.G.H. is a 29-year-old Venezuelan national who is detained at El Valle Detention Center in Texas, and who, upon information and belief, is at imminent risk of removal under the expected Proclamation. W.G.H. lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and his stepdaughter. W.G.H. requested asylum because he was extorted and threatened by multiple criminal groups in Venezuela, including Tren de Aragua.

Trump and his spokespersons are fueling that hostility with their absurd rhetoric about "radical" judges and judicial overreach. They know perfectly well that the courts have legitimate oversight in these cases.

Terrible concept. But that's where we are headed. There are unhinged people out there that will see the forced acceptance of violent gangs into our society as a direct attack on our citizens.

El Oso said:
So is historical context.
The Alien Enemies Act is a wartime law: It has its roots in a conflict between the U.S. and France, and the three times it has been used until now were all during major wars. The last time the act was invoked was during World War II, when it was used to put thousands of noncitizens of Japanese, German and Italian descent in internment camps for which the federal government formally apologized decades later.
The act's fine print states that the president can only assume this authority once Congress has declared war. While the U.S. has been involved in plenty of conflicts over the decades, it hasn't done so formally since 1942. And, until Trump, no one has tried to argue that that invasion or predatory incursion language could be used in any context other than a conventional war.
The Quasi War was an undeclared naval war between the US and France when John Adams was president. Congress never declared war in that one either. It was unconventional in the legal sense, like most wars in US history.
The Japanese who were interned in camps during WWII were US citizens and victims of a racist policy. FDR was a Democrat after all.
Trump's current use is not comparable since the people being deported are illegal aliens who have no right to be here and are also criminals guilty of heinous offenses.
