Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said Monday evening that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit needs to understand that “an alien can be removed without a hearing.”
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit heard the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) request Monday to overturn U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg’s temporary halt on deportations after President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 against Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) on March 15. On “Hannity,” Jarrett was asked by host Sean Hannity for his legal view on the case, as one of the judges on the panel said that Nazis received “better treatment” than the 200 migrants sent to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act.
“Well, first of all, let’s start with today’s hearing. You know, I wasn’t surprised by the inflammatory, incendiary language by an appellate court judge,” Jarrett said. “It was intentional. Anytime you can use the word Nazi and Trump in the same sentence, then it’s a win-win. But the truth is, the president has unchallenged authority under the Alien Enemies Act.”
“The Supreme Court has reviewed it, as you pointed out, Sean, with Pam Bondi. The act precludes judicial review: ‘Courts may not pass judgment on the exercise of the president’s discretion,’” Jarrett added. “Yet, Boasberg, he doesn’t care. He’s defying the highest court in the land.”
The court battle between Boasberg and Trump’s DOJ began on March 15, when Boasberg attempted to halt deportations the same day Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act. Boasberg called an emergency hearing, where he expanded his order to say that “all noncitizens in U.S. custody” were not to be deported.
