Immigration advocates are challenging enforcement tactics that they say they are violating the law.
Federal judge blocks deportation flights for immigrant children

President Donald Trump has suffered three recent major legal setbacks that say experts can put large-scale deportation plans at risk, at least until the High Court intervenes.
In the week that bridges August and September, federal judges in separate cases have supported immigrant advocates who opposed the president’s immigration enforcement tactics and challenged legality.
The judge blocked the deportation of children of migrants across borders. It banned the rapid removal of immigrants who had been in the country for more than two years. And they stopped using the administration’s inexplicable laws to force gang members without legitimate procedures.
Trump administration officials and supporters have condemned the so-called “activist judge” decision that he exaggerates their powers to prevent the president from enforcing the country’s immigration laws.
A 1-2 judicial punch could put the president’s plan to deport as many as 1 million people a year.
“We are a great place to go,” said Michael Kagan, director of the Nevada Las Las Vegas immigration clinic.
The ruling slows down Trump’s deportation tactics
On Friday, August 29th, U.S. District Court Jia M. Cobb, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said the use of “quick removal” internally violated the due process rights of immigrants, pending the administration’s rapid pursuit of deportation.
The White House has sought to speed up the deportation process to reduce the time between arrest and deportation. Here’s the idea: The faster the process, the faster the removal.
Cobb calls it a “scanning process,” which can put everyone at risk, not just non-citizens.
“When it comes to people living inside the country, putting speed above everything else would lead the government to accidentally remove people through this truncated process,” she wrote in her opinion.
On Sunday, August 31st, in the DC District Court, Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan issued a temporary restraining order banning the ice from deporting Guatemalan children who came to the country without parents or guardians.
The children were already on deportations in El Paso and Harlingen, Texas when the National Center for Immigration submitted a request for an emergency injunction.
Then, on September 2, the majority of federal appeals judges of the famous conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals refused to use the Alien Enemy Act of 1798 to rapidly deport those accused of being members of a violent Venezuelan prison gang.
In March, Trump called out the law, saying that the gang known as Tren de Aragua “takes hostile actions and engages in irregular wars” against the United States.
In a 2-1 decision, Judge Leslie H. Southwick said there was no evidence that large-scale immigrants in recent years constituted “armed, organized force or force.” The judge concluded that the alien enemy law was “inappropriately summoned.”
Unconstitutional tactics or “judicial coup”
Trump officials and supporters of the administration’s immigration crackdown opposed the judge’s findings.
Following the verdict of “an alien enemy,” Trump aide Stephen Miller said in a post on social media site X that “judicial coup continues.”
Overall, the ruling takes “a real leap in logic aimed at preventing the president from blocking enforcement of immigration laws written by Congress,” said Jessica Vaughn, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies.
Even without judicial disability, the Trump administration has a difficult path to its deportation goals. Since Trump took office, US immigration and customs enforcement agencies have deported around 200,000 people, according to agency data.
Neither Democrats nor Republican administrations deport one million people a year, according to the Bureau of Homeland Security Statistics.
It was difficult for the Trump administration to quickly push the number of deportations and eliminations up. This is because the illegal border intersections fell due to low levels.
“People don’t realize that deportation is a huge job for the government and that the government is struggling to solve it,” Kagan said.

There are two major driving forces in what the Trump administration is trying to do. One is to find as many ways as possible to grab people and deport them without legitimate procedures. The other front line is hoping that TAs can hold people as long as possible until deported.

The Trump administration’s immigrant crackdown has encountered a new judicial obstacle that could threaten the president’s plan to deport millions of non-citizens.
