The U.S. Supreme Court has granted an emergency petition from migrants in Texas, ruling they are entitled to due process before deportation. This decision blocks the Trump administration's attempt to expedite removals via the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, used historically during wartime. Only two justices dissented in this unsigned decision. The case was brought by Venezuelan migrants facing deportation, accused of gang affiliations by the administration, which has faced legal challenges regarding this law's application, highlighting ongoing tensions regarding immigration policy and due process rights.
We have long held that no person shall be' removed from the United States without opportunity, at some time, to be heard', the court majority wrote in its ruling.
The Trump administration has accused them, and others from Venezuela, of being members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act has spurred a legal backlash, with several US district courts hearing petitions against its application.
The court majority once again upheld a ruling that migrants were entitled to due process before their deportations.
