Nazis had more rights than Venezuelan migrants to contest removal, US judge claims

Court rejects use of Alien Enemies Act of 1798, ruling accused migrants must get hearings first

An appeals court judge claimed on Monday that Nazis were given more rights to contest their removal from the United States during the second world war than Venezuelan migrants deported by the Trump administration.

The comments came during a contentious hearing shortly after a lower court thwarted the Trump administration’s effort to deport the immigrants under a roughly 225-year-old war powers law.
