• Texas Judge: Trump’s Use of Alien Enemies Act Went Too Far

    A federal judge in Texas just ruled that former President Trump “exceeded the scope” of the Alien Enemies Act when using it to fast-track deportations during his term.

    The law — dating back to 1798 — was intended for wartime enemies, not broad immigration enforcement. Critics say Trump's administration stretched it as a legal shortcut, bypassing due process.

    Supporters argue the move was necessary for national security.
    Opponents call it a dangerous precedent that eroded constitutional protections.

    This case may reshape how far presidents can go with old laws in modern crises.

  • Judge Blocks Trump’s Attempt to Strip Funds from Sanctuary Cities

    In a major legal setback, a federal judge has ruled that President Trump cannot deny federal funding to sanctuary cities—municipalities that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

    The decision affirms that:

    The executive branch cannot bypass Congress to impose funding conditions

    Immigration enforcement cooperation must remain voluntary at the local level

    Attempts to financially coerce cities into compliance violate separation of powers

    Impacted cities include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and others that refuse to detain undocumented immigrants solely for federal pickup.

    Trump’s administration framed the move as necessary for national security.
    The court framed it as a constitutional overreach.

    JSA2026 Response:
    We support law and order, but we also support local control.
    We need national immigration reform, not federal blackmail.

    Judge Bars Trump From Denying Federal Funds To ‘Sanctuary’ Cities That Limit Immigration Cooperation
    U.S. Judge Orrick said a preliminary injunction was appropriate because the executive orders were unconstitutional just as they were in 2017 when Trump announced a similar order.
