"There were planeloads of people," she said. "Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemy Act than has happened here."
Earlier on Monday, a federal judge refused to lift a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants with the invocation of the wartime powers.
A US appeals court judge on Monday said the US gave Nazis "better treatment" during World War II than it did to hundreds of Venezuelans deported this month over alleged gang ties. The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit heard arguments over the Trump administration's use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport 238 alleged Venezuelan gang members to a mega-prison in El Salvador. During a fraught two-hour hearing, Judge Patricia Millett questioned the government's use of the law to deport the Venezuelans without a way to challenge the allegations.
