The administration asks the Supreme Court to lift the blockade of judge on deportations under the law of alien enemies
The United States District Judge, James Boasberg, extended on Friday his temporary restriction order that blocks deportations under the alien enemies law for another two weeks.
The order occurred hours after the Trump administration asked the United States Supreme Court to urgently raise the Boasberg block on the use of AEA to deport the alleged of the members of the Aragua train gang.
Judge Boasberg’s temporary restriction order that blocks deportations, issued on March 15, would expire on Saturday, and its new order extends the order until at least April 12. He also established an April 8 hearing to consider a longer preliminary court order.
“As this Court explained recently, the plaintiffs have the right to a tro that demands their removal at least until they had the opportunity to challenge that they are covered by the proclamation,” Judge Boasberg wrote about the Order of Temporary Restriction.
In their emergency application to the Supreme Court on early Friday, Trump’s administration lawyers wrote that “only this court can prevent the rule from trotting the separation of the powers, as soon as possible, the better.”
“Here, the orders of the District Court have rejected the president’s trials on how to protect the Nation against foreign terrorist organizations and risk weakening the effects for delicate foreign negotiations,” wrote the general lawyer Interine Sarah Harris.
“More widely, the rule for a trotrarate has become such a common place between the district courts that the basic functions of the executive branch are in danger. In the two months since the day of the inauguration, the district courts have issued more than 40 cautious or tro against the executive branch,” Harris wrote.

The appeal followed the ruling of Wednesday by 2-1 by the Court of Appeals of the DC circuit that defended the order of Boasberg and defended its jurisdiction in the matter.
The Court of Appeals heard arguments on Monday about the use of the Law of Alien Enemies Enemies by the Trump Administration earlier this month to deport more than 200 alleged members of migrant gangs to El Salvador without due process.
Trump invoked Alien enemies law, an authority in times of war used to deport non -citizens with little or not due process, arguing that the Venezuelan gang Train of Aragua is a “hybrid criminal state” that is invading the United States.
Judge Boasberg temporarily blocked the use of the President of the Law to deport the alleged members of the gang, qualifying the “terribly terribly” and “incredibly problematic” moving, and ordered that the Government deliver about two flights with more than 200 alleged train members of Aragua to El Salvador. The authorities could not change the flights, saying that they were already in international waters.
An official of the application of immigration and customs of the United States later recognized in an affidavit that “many” of the alleged gang members had no criminal record in the United States, but said that “the lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they raise” and “shows that they are terrorists with respect to who we lack a full profile.”
