EXCLUSIVE – Freshman Congressman Brandon Gill, R-Texas, is teaming with pro-MAGA law firm America First Legal to file an amicus brief to the Supreme Court backing President Donald Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal immigrant gang members.
Gill, an outspoken conservative, was behind the effort to impeach the activist judge who halted the Trump administration’s deportation of members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua – a violent criminal group known by its acronym TdA.
The brief was filed to the Supreme Court on Tuesday, just days after acting U.S. Solicitor General Sarah Harris petitioned the court to lift a temporary restraining order inhibiting the administration from carrying out its deportation agenda.
In their brief, America First and Gill argue the president has “absolute authority” under the Alien Enemies Act to determine when an invasion has occurred, and that this decision is “not judicially reviewable.”
