U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi filed an emergency motion on behalf of the Trump administration to dissolve a federal judge’s order on Saturday that blocked President Donald Trump from invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

In a motion filed Sunday, Bondi and her staff accused U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of implementing “an unprecedented, nationwide temporary restraining order” that halted deportations of illegal immigrants associated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua under the 18th-century law. The motion argued that Boasberg initiated a “massive, unauthorized imposition” on the executive branch’s authority.

“This Court should halt this unprecedented intrusion upon the Executive’s authority to remove dangerous aliens who pose grave threats to the American people,” they wrote in their emergency petition, submitted to the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia.

On Saturday, Boasberg said that he needed to issue his order immediately because the government already was deporting illegal immigrants it considers deportable under Trump’s proclamation to El Salvador and Honduras to be incarcerated. El Salvador already agreed this week to take up to 300 illegal immigrants that the Trump administration designated as gang members.

“I do not believe I can wait any longer and am required to act,” Boasberg said during a Saturday evening
hearing in a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Democracy Forward. “A brief delay in their removal does not cause the government any harm,” he said, noting they remain in government custody. He ordered that any planes in the air be turned around.

The ruling came hours after Trump issued an order saying that the Venezuelan gang, designated as a foreign terrorist organization several weeks ago, was invading the United States and invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a wartime authority that allows the president broader leeway on policy and executive action to speed up mass deportations.
