Yes. In this case, as is widely known in Venezuela, TdA is an “enforcement branch” of Maduros cartel. DNI has recently reconfirmed their link to the Maduro regime after the NYT tried to pull an “anonymous source” piece decoupling the two.

Invasion isn’t the only standard for the AEA. Don’t accept that false premise.

I am saying people use the word 'invasion' hyperbolically.
Invasion typically and historically is in reference to military action. Not asylum seekers, some of whom I assume are good people.
You may call it an invasion but that is not the typical meaning of that word. The court has decided here that invasion is endorsed or enacted by a government or nation, rather than a gang.
So no.... an invasion has not occurred by that understanding. Again, you may feel differently but that's your issue.

Hey fair enough, judge made the ruling not me.
Edit: Maduro and TDA = CIA and Contra... feels similar.

The SCOTUS already said Trump could leverage this act for Venezuelan gang bangers provided there was a hearing… so I’m not sure where this particular judge is getting her God-like authority from.

That is not what the Court has done here.
The Court has not said whether an invasion or predatory incursion has happened or not. In fact, it made clear it was not in its power to make such a ruling.
What is has said is that the language of the Proclamation invoking the AEA has not described an "invasion" or "predatory incursion" - which it must do so in order to properly invoke the Act.
I am wondering if that means that if the President has just written in the Proclamation that the invasion included taking over part of Aurora, Colorado - for instance, then the Proclamation would rightfully invoke the Act.
This Judge knows it cannot make Executive Branch decisions - like determining when an invasion has occurred. So it is specifically concerned with the language of the Proclamation itself. that is the defect, according to the Court.

More specifically this piece
quote:
Allowing the President to unilaterally define the conditions when he may invoke the AEA, and then summarily declare that those conditions exist, would remove all limitations to the Executive Branch’s authority under the AEA, and would strip the courts of their traditional role of interpreting Congressional statutes to determine whether a government official has exceeded the statute’s scope

I think that squares with my point.
The Judge does not have the power to decide whether an "invasion or predatory incursion" has occurred. It does have the power to determine what the statutory meaning of those terms are and then whether the Proclamation has described one or both of them.
In this case, he believes the Proclamation has not described an invasion or predatory incursion - not whether they have actually happened. It is a huge distinction.

Makes sense, I think we're on the same page.

Proclamation does not suggest that they have done so through an organized armed attack, or that Venezuela has threatened or attempted such an attack through TdA members. As a result, the Proclamation also falls short of describing a ‘predatory incursion.’”
Have not read the proclamation but I think this language needs to be in there.
From a practical matter, if the language is in there, I do not think the courts get to demand why it is ... That is a pure executive function and I would doubt it is subject to scrutiny by the court...not that they wont try (turn that plane around)...
Curious why that language was not in there to begin with.

typed the above before seeing your post...spot on... need the language and all good.
infortunately, this happens a lot and its a bit frustrating and why there are so many lawsuits.

I agree.
This Court is giving the President a blueprint on how to write the Proclamation if he wants to redo it.

If I were Trump, I would brush aside these district judges and export the whole gang. Any bitching, I would release all the documentation and let the public clamor for Biden.

The president defines it "by his proclamation thereof".
In case there was any question as to how broad the president's power is to declare and enforce the alien enemies act, the USSC made it very clear in their 1948 Ludecke ruling. Among other statements supporting the president's power under that act:

The president defines it "by his proclamation thereof".

In case there was any question as to how broad the president's power is to declare and enforce the alien enemies act, the USSC made it very clear in their 1948 Ludecke ruling. Among other statements supporting the president's power under that act:
quote:
The very nature of the President's power to order the removal of all enemy aliens rejects the notion that courts may pass judgment upon the exercise of his discretion. [Footnote 7] This view was expressed by Mr. Justice Iredell shortly after the Act was passed, Case of Fries, 9 Fed.Cas. No. 5126, and every judge before whom the question has since come has held that the statute barred judicial review. We would so read the Act if it came before us without the impressive gloss of history.
The power with which Congress vested the President had to be executed by him through others. He provided for the removal of such enemy aliens as were "deemed by the Attorney General" to be dangerous. But such a finding at the President's behest was likewise not to be subjected to the scrutiny of courts. For one thing, removal was contingent not upon a finding that in fact an alien was "dangerous." The President was careful to call for the removal of aliens "deemed by the Attorney General to be dangerous." But the short answer is that the Attorney General was the President's voice and conscience.
