USDC Judge Hellerstein Grants Extended Prelim. Inj. -- Against Use Of Alien Enemies Act, By Trump/Noem/Rubio... After Supremes Say "No Stay"...

At Manhattan's Foley Square, the federal trial courts have extended the TRO -- by a simple text order, granting a preliminary injunction -- against using the AEA to remove purported members of TDA.

Now you know -- here's the overnight order:

. . .Upon consideration of Petitioners-Plaintiffs’ Motion for a Preliminary Injunction:

Having determined that Petitioners-Plaintiffs (“Petitioners”) and the certified class are likely to succeed on the merits of their claims that the Proclamation violates the Alien Enemies Act (“AEA”), 50 U.S.C. § 21 et seq.; that the AEA does not authorize Respondents-Defendants (“Respondents”) to remove them from the United States; that Respondents’ actions implementing removals under the AEA violate due process; that in the absence of injunctive relief Petitioners and the certified class will suffer irreparable injury in the form of unlawful removal that may be irreversible; and that the balance of hardships and public interest favor preliminary relief, it is, therefore, ORDERED that Petitioners’ Motion for a Preliminary Injunction is hereby GRANTED; and that Respondents (excluding the President with respect to any injunctive relief), their agents, representatives, and all persons or entities acting in concert with them are hereby:

ENJOINED from enforcing the Presidential Proclamation entitled “Invocation of the Alien Enemies Act Regarding the Invasion of The United States by Tren De Aragua” in the Southern District of New York. . . .

ORDERED that after the May 21 conference, further proceedings in this Court shall be stayed pending appeal. Any party may move to lift the stay at any time. . . .

Onward, into a steamy, sunny Spring morning here! Smile. . . .
