The “record” that the government lawyer was talking about is just the set of papers filed in this one case. Judges are nominally supposed to make decisions based only on the information that people bring in front of them.
Japanese Americans put into prison camps without a lawful reason or due process.
Ex parte Endo is actually relevant case law in the arguments for this Venezuelan case, since the justification for the Japanese American internment was the same 1798 alien enemies act. The current law of the land from Endo is that the internment of first generation Japanese immigrants, who were not citizens, was legal during the declared war. The internment of second and third generation citizens of Japanese descent was not legal.
Do you think American citizens with brown skin aren’t being arrested and deported by this MAGA cult?
This certainly seems plausible to me, but this scenario is not (yet) alleged in this specific Venezuelan case.
