U.S. District Judge Stephanie Haines, a Trump nominee, ruled the president is legally allowed to use the 18th-century law to deport Venezuelan migrants accused of belonging to the gang Tren de Aragua.

Judge Stephanie Haines ruled that President Trump has the authority to deport accused Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.

A federal judge has ruled that President Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged migrant gang members is lawful, in contrast to two other judges.
