@jamesstout.bsky.social 2nd federal district judge (this time in Northern Texas) ruled the AEA proclamation is unlawful. I'm much more skeptical about the 5th circuit upholding this ruling than I was abt 10th circuit, so this is on track to get to SCOTUS rapidly.
Even gaming the system by shipping Venezuelans to Texas for a favorable trial venue didn't help Trump's defense for using the Alien Enemies Act. Only the best lawyers. bsky.app/profile/lucc...
"What the government was doing was finding Venezuelan men, rounding them up and shipping them to the Northern District of Texas," Macdonald said at a court hearing in Denver on Monday, adding that the government perceived northern Texas as a "favorable venue." www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
"For these reasons, the Court concludes that the President’s invocation of the AEA through the Proclamation exceeds the scope of the statute and, as a result, is unlawful." h/t @luccohen.bsky.social
