The claim of President Trump that the gang commits crimes in the United States on the basis of the Venezuelan government was critical for his government Calling the War Act last week To summarize people that officials suspect from belonging to this group.
However, the US intelligence agencies spread the findings that are familiar with this matter last month. The document of 26 February summarized the shared judgment of the nation’s spy agencies that the gang was not controlled by the Venezuelan government.
The publication questioning the credibility of Mr. Trump’s base to induce rarely used War Act, the Law on Extraterrestrial Hostile Laws of 1798, to Transfer A group of Venezuelans to prison with high security in Salvador Last weekend, without a proper process.
The rating of the intelligence community concluded that the gang, Tren de Aragua, is not managed by Venezuel’s government or committing crimes in the United States of its orders, according to officials, he speaks of the state of anonymity to discuss internal negotiations.
Analysts reported this conclusion to the “slight” level of reliability, officials said due to the limited volume of available gang reports. Most intelligence communities, including the CIA and the National Security Agency, agreed with this assessment.
Only one agency, FBI, partially disagrees. He argued that the gang had a connection with the administration of authoritarian President Venezuela Nicolás Maduro, on the basis of information that other agencies did not consider to be trustworthy.
“Several news information assessments are ready for problems for various reasons,” the White House said in a statement. “The President was within his legal and constitutional powers to trigger an extraterrestrial hostile law to exclude illegal foreign terrorists from our country.”
The spokesman of the Office of the National Intelligence Information Refused.
The extraordinary use of Mr. Trump’s war forces to strengthen his immigration intervention brought the administration closer Conflict with the judiciary. Judge in Washington is considering Whether the administration violated his order Blocking for the time being the exclusion of migrants according to the law. The Ministry of Justice condemned the order as a violation of Mr. Trump’s powers and asked the Court of Appeal to overturn it.
The Law on Extraterrestrial Laws emphasizes the executive branch to summarize foreign citizens whose government is in the declared war with the United States, or otherwise attacks or deals with “predatory” in American territory. The government last used the law in Internment and repatriation of Japanese, Italian and German citizens During and after World War II.
It seems that the law on his face requires not only invasion or intrusion, but also a reference to the foreign government.
In his announcement, Mr. Trump effectively convened such a connection to the legal existence by saying that he determined that Tren de Aragua was a representative for the Venezuelan government and committing crimes in the United States because Mr. Maduro tried to distribute the country.
“I do these findings by fully extent my powers to carry out foreign matters of the nation according to the Constitution,” Trump said.
However, the key factual claims of Mr. Trump were contrary to the earlier rating of news, the officials said. He concluded that the gang did not work towards the Maduro administration, and that these two are enemy instead and quote the incidents in which the Venezuelan security forces exchanged shooting with members of the gangs.
Because available information in the world of intelligence is often imperfect or incomplete, analysts assign a level of confidence to factual claims and conclusions. Such objections indicate that even though most or all of the evidence currently available points in one direction, it remains possible that something else could occur that would change their minds.
The overall conclusion was based on “mild” trust and some support points listed on “low” confidence, officials said, because there were not as many news that analysts usually want to have “high” confidence. The United States has long investigated the government of Venezuela, but only recently began to focus on Tren de Aragua, they said.
The evaluation, according to one official, also portrayed a gang who lacked sources and was too disorganized-in a small way like any centralized command and control-may do any government orders. The official said the evaluation said that while a handful of corrupt Venezuelan officials have links to gang members, this is not a gang that is below the government as a whole.
Assessment, as the official also said, claim that when the Foreign Ministry intended Gang as a foreign terrorist organization last month on the direction of Mr. TrumpThe Minister Maduro publicly appreciated this event. (Movement of administration broke through the practice restrictions on the designation of “terrorism” to organizations that are clearly ideologically motivated.)
Federal courts usually postpone the factual statements of the executive branch of what is happening and why, rather than examining what is actually happening. This is mainly the case of national security and foreign policy.
However, such respect is based on the idea that officials make determination in good faith and draw on powerful branches such as intelligence agencies to evaluate fast -moving and sometimes dangerous situations. Mr. Trump’s distortion formula is Mr. Trump Testing this practice.
Administration urges that all men who sent to Salvador are members of the Tren de Aragua was also attacked. In one court, clerk recognized That many have no criminal records, but they said that the lack of details only stressed that “they are terrorists with whom we lack a complete profile.”
Lawyers for some of the migrants have A declared statement from family members and others denying involvement in the gang. For example, a lawyer for one detained identified her client as footballers who were tortured for participation in protests against Maduro and fled to the United States to apply for asylum.
The lawyer said that American officials accused him of being a member of Tren de Aragua based on tattoos and a gesture of hands he created in the picture on social media. But she said the tattoo was the version of the logo of the football team and the gesture of the hand was a common symbol of “Rock” Roll “.
Mr. Trump’s statement quoted modest evidence of his main finding that Tren de Aragua, as an organization, committed crimes to destabilize the United States “direction, secret or other, Maduro regime in Venezuela”.
His most accurate details were that the gang expanded from 2012 to 2017, when Tareck El Aissami worked as the Governor of the Aragua region and in 2017 Mr. Maduro appointed him vice president. The announcement, however prosecuting him for charging of corruption.
On Saturday, when the Salvador flew the Planes Venezuelan migrants, judge James E. Boasberg, chief judge of the Federal District Court for Columbia, temporarily prevented the administration of people from the law on extraterrestrial enemy laws.
The former prosecutor was first appointed on the bench by the Republican President and promoted to his current role of democratic. His decision to block the deportation of Trump’s administration under the law was outraged by the President and his allies, which forced Mr. Trump Call his indictment.
The administration appealed to the Court of Appeal for the Columbia Circuit district. The case is now in front of Judge Karen Henderson and Justin Walker, Republican denominators and Patricia Millett, Democratic.
Court of Appeal usually reject the calls to temporarily restraints orders. However, the panel ordered accelerated briefings and planned arguments, suggesting that it is considering deciding on the legal merits of Mr. Trump to induce extraterrestrial enemies.
Any decision could partially turn to whether the judges accept Mr. Trump’s claim of Tren de Aragua and his supposed links to the Venezuelan government, as the government lasted.
The Ministry of Justice wrote that the “decision on” invasion “or” ferocious entry “, whether the organization is sufficiently linked to a foreign nation or the government, or whether the interests of National Security have otherwise been involved to engage in AEA is basically a political question to which the president is answered.”
