The Supreme Court has temporarily halted the deportation of Venezuelans held in a Texas detention center under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. This decision came in response to an emergency appeal from the ACLU, which argued that the Trump administration was attempting to restart removals without allowing detainees to contest their cases. Despite dissent from two justices, the Court emphasized the need for due process rights before deportation. The administration is likely to seek a reversal quickly, as the situation remains legally complex.
The Supreme Court temporarily blocked the deportations of Venezuelans held in northern Texas under an 18th century wartime law, allowing them to argue their case in court.
The ACLU lawyer expressed relief, stating that the Court's decision prevents those individuals from facing cruel deportation without due process rights.
