(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – In a new case of an activist judge going wild, U.S. Circuit Judge Patricia Millett lambasted the Trump administration with an outrageous comparison, namely, that it is treating Venezuelan migrants worse than Nazis during WWII under the Alien Enemies Act.

Judge Patricia Millett of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit expressed intense dissatisfaction with how the Trump administration handled the deportation of over 200 Venezuelan gang suspects.
The administration wielded the Alien Enemies Act to expedite these deportations, setting off a legal battle over the lack of due process offered to these individuals.
Millett highlighted the severity of the administration’s approach, stating, “Nazis got better treatment under the AEA than has happened here,” drawing a stark comparison to historical precedents during World War II.
The Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act, citing the suspected involvement of these individuals with the Tren de Aragua gang, labeling this a national security concern equivalent to an invasion.
However, many deportees had no proven ties to criminal activities, prompting widespread criticism from legal scholars and advocacy groups.
The American Civil Liberties Union weighed in, with attorney Lee Gerlent asserting, “I think we’re going to be able to prove that many if not most of the people removed had no connection to the gang.”
Judge Millett aggressively questioned the government’s disregarding of due process rights, emphasizing that the individuals were not informed about their deportations nor given the chance to challenge them.
Justice Department lawyer Drew Ensign contended that the Venezuelans had opportunities to file legal petitions, although critics argue these were either unavailable or inadequately communicated.

Despite these defenses, District Judge James Boasberg issued a restraining order against further deportations, challenging the administration’s adherence to legal requirements.
Following this, Trump allies have controversially suggested impeachment proceedings against Judge Boasberg, an action which Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has publicly condemned.
Adding to the furor, many deported individuals have ended up in perilous conditions in El Salvador, a point Judge Boasberg raised when denying the government’s motions to proceed with deportations.
The debate now hinges on whether this policy will advance to the Supreme Court, where its future depends on a conservative majority, The Washington Times reports.
The aftermath of this legal standoff has implications for how the judiciary interprets wartime policies for non-state actors and the rights of individuals labeled as national threats.
