#Extradition is a long-established, frequently used process of sending accused criminals to face charges in another country. By citing the #AlienEnemiesAct, #Trump is highlighting its aggressive posture on the contested #legal issue without taking steps that might be deemed to violate a #TRO issued by federal Judge #Boasberg.
Because the men are being extradited to face charges in a foreign country, their cases are different from the hurried #deportations of >200 #Venezuelans this month.

Blanche added, “We hope common sense & justice will prevail.”
