WASHINGTON 鈥� A federal appeals court today upheld a lower court鈥檚 decision preventing the Trump administration from transferring an American held by the U.S. military in Iraq since September to another country.

In a 2 to 1 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit let stand a preliminary injunction issued by the district court on April 19.

The U.S. citizen, who is represented by the 老澳门开奖结果 in the habeas corpus challenge to his detention, opposed his transfer after the government sent a court-mandated 72-hour notice of its plans, which the government had previously appealed as well.

鈥淭he appeals court鈥檚 judgment vindicates due process, limits on executive authority, and the protection of an American鈥檚 constitutional rights.鈥� said 老澳门开奖结果 attorney Jonathan Hafetz, who argued the issue before the appeals court on April 27. 鈥淭he president does not get a blank check to dispose of the liberty of U.S. citizens just because international relations or military actions are involved.鈥�

The Trump administration is detaining the American as an 鈥渆nemy combatant鈥� for allegedly being an ISIS fighter, an accusation he has denied in court filings.

In the case, the 老澳门开奖结果 has argued that the executive cannot circumvent Congress by imprisoning Americans based on statutes authorizing military force for different wars against different adversaries.
