Clinton Judge Halts Deportation of Suspected Tren de Aragua Gang Members Under Alien Enemies Act, Orders Them Released

A federal judge in West Texas halted the deportation of suspected Tren de Aragua gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.

US District Judge David Briones, a Clinton appointee, on Friday ordered the release of two suspected TdA members. The judge admonished DOJ lawyers and said they “have not demonstrated they have any lawful basis” to keep the couple detained.

The couple, Julio Cesar Sanchez Puentes and Luddis Norelia Sanchez Garcia, arrived in the US from Mexico in 2022 and were granted temporary protected status (TPS) by the Biden Regime. President Trump terminated the TPS program, and the couple was arrested earlier this month at the El Paso airport.

“There is no doubt the Executive Branch’s unprecedented peacetime use of wartime power has caused chaos and uncertainty for individual petitions as well as the judicial branch in how to manage and evaluate the Executive’s claims of Tren de Aragua membership, and the invocation of the Alien Enemies Act as a whole,” Judge Briones wrote, according to The Associated Press.

Judge Briones’ ruling applies to all illegal aliens facing deportation under the Alien Enemies Act in his Texas judicial district.

Other federal judges in New York, Colorado, and South Texas have issued similar rulings.

Excerpt from AP:

A federal judge in west Texas joined other courts in temporarily blocking the deportations of Venezuelan immigrants under an 18th-century wartime law known as the Alien Enemies Act.

U.S. District Judge David Briones in El Paso, Texas, issued the ruling Friday while he ordered the release of a couple accused of being members of a Venezuelan criminal gang. Briones wrote that government lawyers “have not demonstrated they have any lawful basis” to continue detaining the couple on a suspected alien enemy violation.

The couple is accused of being part of Tren de Aragua, which the Trump administration has designated a foreign terrorist organization. Trump has invoked the Alien Enemies Act from 1798 that lets the president deport noncitizens 14 years or older who are from a country with which the U.S. is at war.

Motorcyclist Gets Taught a Hard Lesson After Performing Dangerous Stunts in Front of Police Officers (VIDEO)

A motorcyclist got taught a hard lesson after deciding to perform stupid stunts while driving in front of police.

As KKTV reported on Thursday, a person in Pueblo, Colorado got busted by police last month after officers witnessed a series of reckless moves by him and two of his cronies.

These motorcyclists blocked traffic with their stunts, causing several community members to call the cops and complain.

As the video below shows, motorcyclists perform sets of wheelies and stand up on the seat, endangering themselves and others on the road.

Once the motorcyclists reach a stoplight, the Pueblo police spring into action. They gang tackle the motorcyclist closest to them, and the other two drivers speed off.

He is then put into handcuffs.

WATCH:

One of the officers angrily explains to the motorcyclist that he has a whole dashcam of him doing stupid things while driving on the road, endangering everybody.

Then the idiot receives news that he probably considers worse than an arrest: the police officer tells him they will tow his bike and put a hold on it for a nuisance.

“Oh no, please don’t do that,” he whines.

The policeman further explains that the bike will now go into storage, and the biker must pay the tow fee every day for six months.

“No, dude. Please don’t do this. It’s a minibike, I hardly ever ride that thing,” he whimpers.

The cop closes by telling the motorcyclist they are not trying to make his life harder, but that he put everyone in danger. Thus, he needs to suffer the consequences for his actions.

Cincinnati mob violence victim who goes by ‘Holly,’ broke her silence in a video message posted to X on Sunday.

Holly said she is suffering “very bad” brain trauma after the horrific attack by a mostly black mob at a jazz festival last weekend.

A white man was brutally beaten and stomped on by a violent gang of black suspects. When Holly ran to the victim’s aid, she was also beaten and knocked out.

Six people have been charged so far in the violent attack.

The FBI and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights division are investigating the incident.

In an emotional video message, Holly fought through tears as she expressed her gratitude for the outpouring support.

“I want to say thank you to everyone for all of the love and support. It’s definitely what’s keeping me going. And you have just brought back faith in humanity,” Holly said through tears in a video message.

“It’s been very, very hard, and I’m still recovering. I still have a very bad brain trauma,” she said.

“God bless you all. Thank you.”

BREAKING: Texas Democrats Flee State to Block GOP Congressional Redistricting – AG Paxton Calls For Their Arrest

Texas Democrats have fled the state to block the Republicans in the legislature from holding a special session to block a redistricting vote on Sunday.

The Texas Democrats reportedly fled to Illinois to break quorum to block the Texas House from holding a vote in a special session.

The new congressional map will add five GOP House seats.

The Texas Democrats pulled a similar stunt back in 2021.

Politico reported:

Dozens of Texas Democrats plan to flee the state amid a special session Sunday afternoon, making a last-ditch effort to disrupt a mid-decade redistricting attempt forced by President Donald Trump, according to two people briefed on the matter.

It marks their second act of breaking quorum — when the state House will lack the minimum number of lawmakers needed to conduct business — since 2021. And it comes as the party scrambles to counter the aggressive action in Texas, intended to keep Republicans in power in Congress next year by creating five GOP-friendly seats in the state.

Four years ago, Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called for the arrest of fleeing lawmakers upon their return to their state.

Sunday’s move will almost certainly set off a nationwide redistricting arms race that threatens to upend the 2026 midterm election map.

Texas Democrat state representative James Talarico boasted about fleeing the state to block the GOP from

“My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab,” Democrat James Talarico said in a video posted to X.

“Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us,” he said.

WATCH:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called for their arrest.

“Democrats in the Texas House who try and run away like cowards should be found, arrested, and brought back to the Capitol immediately,” Ken Paxton said.

“We should use every tool at our disposal to hunt down those who think they are above the law,” he said.
