A federal judge on Saturday prevented the Trump administration from using the 18th -century law, known as the Alien Enemy Act, which closes an icy storm of litigation on the controversial step before the President announced, to deport five Venezuela people.

President Donald Trump has widely indicated that he would invite the 1798 Act, the last used to justify the interns of Japanese-American nationals during World War II.

On Saturday, the American Civil Liberty Union and Democracy filed an extraordinary suit in the federal court in Washington, ordering that the order would identify a Venezuela’s gang, train de Argua, as a “hunter avatar” by a foreign government and as a member of that gang, as a member of that gang.

Chief Justice of DC Circuit James E. Boseberg agreed to implement a temporary preventive order to prevent exile for 14 days under the Act of Five Venezuela, which is already in immigration custody and believed that they were being deported. Bosebberg said that his order was “to preserve the status quo.” Boasberg later determined a hearing for the afternoon whether their order should be expanded to protect all Venezuela people in the United States.

Hours later, the Trump administration appealed for the initial preventive order, stating that a President’s Act was to be stopped before the announcement, crippling the executive branch.

If the order was allowed to stand, “the district courts would have a license to include almost any immediate national-security action when a complaint is received,” the Department of Justice has written in its appeal.

It said that the district courts may issue temporary preventive orders on tasks such as drone strikes, sensitive intelligence operations, or terrorist capture or extradition. The court “should stop the path in its tracks,” the department argued.

The unusual hurry of litigation highlighted the dispute around the Foreign Enemies Act, which could illegally give Trump a huge strength to deport people in the country. This can allow him to bypass some protections of general criminal and immigration law. But it will face immediate challenges on the lines of Saturday’s litigation as it has been used only during the war.

The formal announcement of war is required before using the law. But the immigration lawyers were worried about a hurry to activity on Friday night.

“Last night, it appears that the government was preparing to deport many Venezuela people, they had no legal rights to deport,” said Ahilanantam, an immigration lawyer of Los Angeles, said that the night had filed two petitions to block the exile that night.
