WASHINGTON (AP) – A federal court of appeals panel ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump uses 18th-century wartime law to condemn his administration’s membership in Venezuelan gangs and cannot block a signing government push directed at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Lee Gererund, who argued for the ACLU lawsuit, said on Tuesday, “The Trump administration’s use of peacetime wartime laws to regulate immigration has been properly closed by the courts.
