EXCLUSIVE: Emerging GOP leader backing Trump’s use of Alien Enemies Act at Supreme Court

Freshman Congressman Brandon Gill, a Republican from Texas, is making waves in the political arena by teaming up with the pro-MAGA law firm America First Legal to file an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in support of President Donald Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal immigrant gang members. This bold move comes as part of Gill’s efforts to uphold the rule of law and protect American citizens from violent criminal elements.

The focus of the brief is to back the president’s authority under the Alien Enemies Act to determine when an invasion has occurred and to deport individuals who pose a threat to national security. Gill and America First Legal argue that the president’s decision in this matter is not subject to judicial review, emphasizing the importance of executive authority in matters of national security.

In a statement, America First senior counsel James Rogers expressed concern over the idea that a single judge could interfere with the president’s duty to defend the nation. He highlighted the separation of powers as a fundamental principle of the American Republic and emphasized the need to uphold the president’s role as Commander in Chief in matters of national defense.

The brief points to evidence linking the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua to the government of Venezuela, suggesting that the group’s activities constitute an invasion of the United States. This argument is based on the Alien Enemies Act, a law passed over two centuries ago that grants the president the authority to expel aliens deemed to be invading the country.

Gill, who has been vocal in his support for conservative values, has also been involved in efforts to impeach judges who have obstructed the Trump administration’s deportation policies. His collaboration with America First Legal demonstrates his commitment to upholding the rule of law and protecting American citizens from criminal threats.

The filing of the amicus brief to the Supreme Court comes in response to a temporary restraining order that has hindered the administration’s deportation efforts. The Trump administration’s appeal to lift the restraining order emphasizes the need to prioritize national security and prevent dangerous individuals from remaining in the country.

Overall, Gill’s partnership with America First Legal and the filing of the amicus brief represent a strong stance in support of the president’s authority to address national security threats. As the legal battle unfolds, it remains to be seen how the Supreme Court will weigh in on this critical issue.
