"You could throw me on the plane": Trump's claiming the right to deport literally anyone, judge says

Salon  

Immigration attorneys say that the Trump administration is effectively seeking the right to deport anyone without oversight, pointing to its arguments that the high-profile expulsion of immigrants to El Salvador fell within the president's power over foreign policy. Circuit, a three-judge panel heard arguments Monday concerning the Trump administration’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to send hundreds of people to a Central American prison with no due process. Millett later added that, under the Trump administration’s current deportation protocol, “You could throw me on the plane.” In one heated exchange, Millett said that “Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act,” in reference to one of the three times that the act has been invoked historically. “Because the named Plaintiffs dispute that they are members of Tren de Aragua, they may not be deported until a court has been able to decide the merits of their challenge.” Cameron said that if the administration is found to have acted within its power in denying due process to these people, and if the courts side with the administration’s position that a judicial check on these deportations is an infringement on the president’s power, there would be very little stopping them from deporting a citizen without due process. This El Salvador case has generated multiple tests for the Trump administration, both concerning Trump’s power to deport people without due process, which could provide a significant roadblock for Trump's promised mass deportations, and whether his administration will or will not obey the courts.
