WH Press Sec Karoline Leavitt tells Andrew Feinberg of TheIndependent, “Shame on you" after he asked her about #ICE's "#AlienEnemiesAct Validation Guide” which the #Trump admin FILED IN COURT that states for ICE to label a person a member of #TdA, they must:

1) determine they are a #Venezuelan & over 14, &

2) find 8 points on a scoring guide they made:

4 points for having alleged *gang* tattoos +
4 points for displaying gang "logos" or
"symbols"

That’s it.

A federal judge has ordered the immediate release of a Washington-area #Venezuelan couple who contend they’ve been unfairly swept up in #Trump’s crackdown on Venezuela-based gang #TdA.

Luddis Sanchez Garcia, 33, & Julio Sanchez Puentes, 27, walked out of the federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, Friday morning surrounded by supporters after US District Judge Leonie Brinkema declared there was no legal basis for their #detention.

Continued thread

But they vigorously reject the idea that their sons, brothers, & husbands have anything to do w/ #TdA, which the #Trump admin recently labeled a foreign terrorist org. The families have substantiated those assertions to Mother Jones, including—in many cases—by providing ofcl docs attesting to their relatives’ lack of criminal histories in #Venezuela. Such evidence might have persuaded US judges the men were not part of any criminal org had the admin not deliberately deprived them of #DueProcess.

Reyes Mota is among the hundreds of #Venezuelans that the #Trump admin deported earlier this month through the use of extraordinary wartime powers based on a 1798 #law [#AlienEnemiesAct]. The admin sent them to #CECOT in #ElSalvador, claiming they are members of the notorious Venezuelan gang #TdA. But the 24-yr-old father does NOT have a criminal record in Venezuela. His #immigration detention records are riddled w/mistakes, raising questions about how reliable they are.

Replied in thread

Judge says the problem isn’t with the proclamation but the implementation. If #Trump intends to deport only members of #TdA, the fact that nonmembers are being deported doesn’t align with his proclamation. The Temporary Restraining Order #TRO issued by Judge #Boasberg allows the admin to detain but prohibits removal to another country until the detainees have been given an opportunity to argue that they were not TdA members & therefore were not subject to the #AlienEnemiesAct.
