Judge Rejects Trump's 'Invasion' Claim, Limits Wartime Powers | JQJO

A Texas federal judge, Fernando Rodriguez Jr., ruled against President Trump's claim that a Venezuelan gang's activities constituted an 'invasion' justifying use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Judge Rodriguez questioned whether the President could unilaterally define an invasion and then utilize the Act, highlighting the potential for limitless presidential power. The ruling challenges the President's authority to invoke wartime powers based on his own definition of an invasion.
