The Supreme Court has lifted a lower court's order that had blocked the Trump administration from utilizing the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport suspected Venezuelan gang members. Chief Judge James Boasberg had initially halted these deportations, but following an emergency request from the Trump administration, the Supreme Court intervened. President Trump described the gang as an invading force, connecting their presence to perceived failures in immigration policies under the Biden administration. This decision marks the first application of the wartime law since World War II and aims to expedite deportations to eliminate gang influence.
The Trump administration's recent application of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act allows expedited deportations of Venezuelan gang members, seen as invaders amid immigration concerns.
After a lower court's block on the use of the wartime law, the Supreme Court's ruling clears a path for faster deportations of alleged gang members.
