Federal District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. recently ruled against the Trump administration's interpretation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants quickly. His opinion references historical uses of the terms 'invasion' and 'predatory incursion' from the founding fathers' era, arguing that the administration's definitions do not align with the law's original intent. This ruling represents a significant legal challenge to the administration's wartime deportation strategy amidst the rising political rhetoric around illegal immigration being termed as 'invasion.'
Judge Rodriguez's ruling highlights the historical context of the Alien Enemies Act, asserting that the current definition of 'invasion' diverges from the statute's original intent.
Rodriguez emphasized that the term 'invasion' used by the Trump administration is disconnected from its historical application during the founding years of the nation.
