There is new information to add to our discussion on “Executive Power vs Judicial Review” https://civicsandcitizenship.org/executive-power-vs-judicial-review/. There were a certainly a variety of opinions on whether the Administration (Executive Branch) was correct to use the Alien Enemy Act and Ludecke v Watkins to deport illegal migrants.
Matt Nahrgang, a lawyer and participant at Common Sense Civics and Citizenship, alerted me to the fact that there has been “universal misreporting and blatantly incorrect posts” on the Supreme Court’s opinion on removing noncitizen members of a Venezuelan gang under a March 15 executive order.
I have encouraged my readers to discover the law and the facts about the deportation of noncitizen gang members and the Chief Executive’s constitutional authority. Matt has done this by sending me the following SCOTUS blog article:
Amy Howe, Supreme Court requires noncitizens to challenge detention and removal in Texas, SCOTUSblog (Apr. 7, 2025, 8:14 PM), https://www.scotusblog.com/2025/04/supreme-court-requires-noncitizens-to-challenge-detention-and-removal-in-texas/
I would encourage anyone who has questioned the use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to read the article. So, too, if you wondered if what you heard/saw/read/ of the news about each justice’s opinion. It is quite enlightening!
This is an example of working to discover the law and the facts that we talk about here on Common Sense Civics and Citizenship.
This is Common Sense Civics and Citizenship. 🇺🇸
