Pundit Reactions

Bret Baier, Fox News: “New York’s law handcuffs ICE. Federal authority must prevail to secure our borders and ensure that illegal immigrants aren’t shielded by state policies that undermine national security.”

2. Appeals Court Drops Shock Ruling on Deported Venezuelans!

Headline and Summary

Court Stuns Nation by Pausing Due Process for Deported Venezuelans

On June 10, 2025, a U.S. appeals court froze a judge’s order granting nearly 140 Venezuelans, deported to El Salvador’s CECOT prison, the right to challenge their expulsions, sparking outrage over Trump’s deportation tactics.

Details of the Event

The Trump administration used the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport the group in March, citing gang ties. Judge James Boasberg ordered due process on June 4. The appeals court’s June 10 pause delays this requirement, leaving them in limbo.

Key Developments

The pause gives time to review Boasberg’s ruling.

Deportees remain in El Salvador under a U.S.-Bukele deal.

Case highlights wartime law use in immigration enforcement.

Background Information

Critics say Trump misuses the Alien Enemies Act to sidestep legal protections. Deporting Venezuelans to El Salvador reflects diplomatic tensions and broader legal battles over mass removals.

Implications

For Immigrants: Risk of prolonged detention without hearings.

For Policymakers: May normalize wartime laws in immigration.

For Communities: Venezuelan families fear more arbitrary deportations.
