If you’re a third world gang member, come to America! The Daily Wire on Wednesday, September 3. 2025, ran an article headlined, “Court Blocks Trump From Deporting Suspected Venezuelan Gang Members.”
A federal appeals court on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration from deporting suspected members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua under the Alien Enemies Act.
In a 2-1 decision, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with three illegal immigrants accused of being members of Tren de Aragua. The majority said that the wave of illegal immigrants from Venezuela who have entered the United States in recent years should not be considered an invasion under the terms of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. In March, President Donald Trump invoked the 18th-century law to classify members of Tren de Aragua as alien enemies to be removed under the 227-year-old statute.
“A country’s encouraging its residents and citizens to enter this country illegally is not the modern-day equivalent of sending an armed, organized force to occupy, to disrupt, or to otherwise harm the United States. There is no finding that this mass immigration was an armed, organized force or forces,” wrote Judge Leslie Southwick.
The case is likely to end up before the Supreme Court.
Judge Andrew Oldham wrote a dissenting opinion criticizing the majority and arguing that federal judges were usurping Trump’s lawful authority.
“What kind of message is this sending the world that now in America gang members are safe from deportation?” commented Thomas Robb, the National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, based centrally in Harrison, Arkansas. “This should scare every law-abiding White citizen in America when we have a court system that sides with illegal gang members. Regardless if they are Tren de Aragua gang members or not, they are here illegally. Do our court systems believe every word these invaders say? I would never do such a thing, but if I robbed a bank, and my family members were known bank robbers, and I told the judge I was innocent, do you think he would side with me? Our judicial system needs a good overhauling. It’s almost as if the Biden administration is still in power. I know many people dislike President Trump, but at least he’s trying. He has done much good so far, but of course I don’t agree with everything he does. I don’t understand how some people can call us Trumptards. Is Donald Trump the savior of America? Absolutely not, but he was the lesser of two evils we had to vote for.”
