DC Circ. Halts Probe of Alien Enemies Act Violations
A D.C. Circuit panel has halted a contempt probe into alleged violations of the Alien Enemies Act. The probe was launched against Trump administration officials. Judge James Boasberg had previously ruled that the removal of Venezuelans under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act was unlawful. The Alien Enemies Act is a law that allows the President of the United States to detain or deport aliens in the event of war or a threat of war. The probe was halted due to a lack of necessity to continue the investigation.
