The Supreme Court has granted a preliminary injunction extending a pause on the deportation of Venezuelan immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act. This decision criticizes the government's failure to provide sufficient notice for detainees to contest their deportations. The Court overruled a Fifth Circuit ruling and highlighted the importance of timely hearings for individuals facing deportation. While the order preserves the Court's jurisdiction, it does not determine the legality of Trumpâs use of the Alien Enemies Act. The case illustrates ongoing legal debates around immigration and executive authority during crises.
Here the District Court's inactionânot for 42 minutes but for 14 hours and 28 minutesâhad the practical effect of refusing an injunction to detainees facing an imminent threat of severe, irreparable harm.
We have long held that 'no person shall be' removed from the United States 'without opportunity, at some time, to be heard,' the court said in the emergency order, quoting from prior opinions.
