Federal judge hears second challenge to Trump’s use of Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants

The American boycott judge, James Bouasburg, will hear from the Trump administration lawyer and the US Civil Liberties Union on Wednesday evening in the case of the second court, which focuses on President Donald Trump’s use of the law of foreign enemies in 1789 to deport some immigrants.

Trump officials have sought to photograph Boasberg, a senior judge in the capital, as the face of judicial overcoming and today’s session could be brought back in their intersection.

Unlike the previous lawsuit that Boasberg heard in March, which sought to prevent Trump’s temporary use of the law of foreign enemies to deport some immigrants in the United States, the courts ask the court to hear a greater request to obtain more permanent relief.

A preliminary judicial order has been presented as a category, and seeks to protect two categories of immigrants: detainees who have already been removed from the United States to the famous Salvadori prison, as well as those who are still detained on the American soil at risk of imminent removal.

Who is James Boasberg, the American judge at the Trump Deport efforts?

Prosecutors seek a broader and more impartial relief for two sub -categories, or groups of individuals at risk of what they are arguing are “wrong and unfounded” under the law of foreign enemies.

For the detainees who can be removed under the law, the prosecutors asked for an order to block their removal under AEA and ask the Trump administration to provide them with notice of at least 30 days before any planned removal operations – note that they will be sufficient to allow them to challenge the removal operations in the US Court.

Immigrants who have already deported to CECOT may face a more difficult relief path.

Prosecutors from Boasberg asked for their amended request to the Trump administration order not only to facilitate the return of migrants who have already been deported, but take “all reasonable steps” to do so.

They said this may include the administration’s demand to request any contractor or agents in El Salvador to transfer individuals from Cecot to the “physical nursery” of the United States.

It is unclear whether the Trump administration will take any steps to comply with this matter, in the event of Boasberg to grant the judicial relief that he is looking for. If their responses are any indication, then in the near -term compliance seems unlikely.

The alleged gang members were seen in El Salvador after being deported from the United States on March 31, 2025.

The session comes at a time when the Trump administration has grown increasingly in the face of court orders to return the CECOT migrants to the United States – including two immigrants who were accidentally deported to the Far Security Prison in March, and ordered to return to the United States by two separate federal judges.

The administration refused to return it. So far, the Trump administration has not said whether it had returned any migrants deported from the United States to Cecot under the law.

It may be difficult to track the identities of these individuals: Until now, the Trump administration has not issued a list of the names of individuals who deported them to El Salvador under the Law of Foreign Enemies, and the Salvadian government also protects their identities from the general disclosure.

The increasing recovery of the administration on this issue has sparked new concern from Trump’s critics and some court monitors, who indicated fears that the administration could test their borders on the authorities of the Executive Branch.

Prosecutors also martyred fears of the real harm to immigrants.

In their file, they said that, in the absence of restraint relief, the Trump administration will be “free to send hundreds of individuals to the famous El Salvaduri prison, where they may be held by mixing the rest of their lives.”
