Supreme Court Backs Trump on Deportation, But with Due Process
Tap title to read story
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Trump administration can use a wartime law to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members, but only if they're given the right to challenge the deportation in a Texas court. This decision overturns lower court rulings that blocked the deportations. While the court didn't directly address the administration's claim of wartime powers under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, it mandated due process for the detainees. Dissenting justices criticized the majority's approach as undermining the rule of law and disregarding established legal procedures. The ruling doesn't affect the approximately 200 individuals already deported.
