CNN political analyst Eli Honeig is asking President Trump about the recent distortion of the 1798 foreign enemies’ law invited by the administration to speed up the deportation of Venezuela immigrants allegedly related to gang activities.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Trump suggested that “other people” have dealt with the announcement and referred to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. “He has done a great job, and he wanted them to leave and we are going with that… We want to take the criminals out of our country,” he said.
Regarding Kaitlan Collins on CNN, which he believes the president pointed out, Honeyg expressed the White House’s remarks with his own brush, referring to the original law.
“Do you tell us that I am not John Adams, the man who signed it in 1798? … The obvious thing here is, “I didn’t sign this announcement that was used last week to deport these foreigners,” Honnieg said on CNN on Friday.
“If that’s true, if Donald Trump doesn’t really mention the announcement, it’s a big problem because the law requires the president’s declaration,” he said.
According to the copy of the Federal Register, there is a four-page announcement of Trump’s signature.
Honeyg’s criticism comes as the Trump administration is in a legal war on whether the recent deportation flights are legal under the 18th century. US Judge James Bosberg tried to prevent the president from appealing the law, but his flights to immigrants accused of part of a gang of Tren de Aragua continued.
The federal judge attacked the US administration for violating his order and called for the planes to fly around. Officials said that as the flights are outside the US Airways, Bosberg has no right to intervene. Trump then asked the investigation.
On Friday, the judge sworn that “reaching” the issue, after the Justice Department resisted its demands for more information about the trips, because of national security concerns and accusations of rape of the executive branch.
Honeyg seemed to be initially agreed with the judge, referring to “a couple of deficiencies” in the administration’s administration’s argument to summon the law.
“There must be an invasion first, and it must be by a foreign government,” Honeyg said. “And Donald Trump, if you look at the announcement, which he may have done or not signed, he will try to put a very extension together, ‘Yes, this was an occupation, yes, so that it was tied to the Venezuelan government.
He acknowledged that while most people do not want violence in the country, those in the United States can illegally deported under normal law.
“But instead, they use this law of 1798, and they extend the definitions outside of all beliefs. “And that’s why the judge, Bosberg, today, expressed his doubts.
