This is false. Venezuela intentionally sent TdA members to the US. This has been proven.

As I said, I imagine most analyses will be similar to the ruling in OP.
Same analysis (textualism, historical analysis, etc.) and same result.
People just got so emotionally invested in this sort of stupidity Megyn Kelly — Alien Enemies Act is not subject to judicial review. and lost all rationality on the issue.

Isn’t this currently in front of the Supreme Court?

Not right now I don't think. I imagine this ruling and its kin will be appealed up there in the future.

Seriously Slo, no trolling on this. I know you have some serious & intelligent insight.
I blv the people should define it.
"Government of the people, by the people, for the people"
Being that a true democracy is created and maintained by its citizens.

Wasn’t TDA basically Maduro’s armed thugs he hired to intimidate voters and suppress opposition?
I’d argue the gang fits the definition of armed, organized and under at least some direction of the authoritarian Venezuelan govt.
It’s no different than if the Taliban sent ISIS cells to infiltrate our border

There are 2 (or 3, depending on your left brained word fetishism status) manners in which the act can be applied. One is declared war, which doesn't exist. That is the only version with any case law, as it's the only way the act has ever been used.
This is the portion being used today:
Most reasonable people see he AEA being limited to actual invasion/predatory incursion from actual government forces. (The "by any foreign nation or government" language).
The problem with this use of the AEA is there is almost no real support that we're being invaded or facing a predatory incursion from the sovereign state of Venezuela. The attempts to make this argument are being done in a clever manner, which in reality means anyone arguing it looks unintelligent/stupid.

While I did see the typo when you quoted (that's what I get redoing a post without looking over it first), if you're implying I'm not intelligent, you're displaying the Dunning-Kruger Effect in real time.

Am I wrong in the assumption that the AEA isn’t necessary as a reason to deport these people? If it isn’t, why was this language included in the proclamation?

You are not
Hence why people like me have said this clown show for muh fight is an unforced error
quote:

For muh fight types and just because Trump always surrounds himself with people who think they're smarter than they are, who engage in cleverness, only to end up stepping on their own dicks. Then the MAGA rank and file, who got so riled up with the muh fight' emotional promotion of this strategy, claim the system is corrupt, instead of realize that their guy just fricked up for no earthly reason again.
Just like with Garcia. They could have avoided this whole shite show by just bringing him back, doing it properly, and fixing it on the DL but now it's a major story and they look, at best, like idiots (and at worst like authoritarians).
