Supreme Court Blocks Trump's Venezuelan Deportations
Tap title to read story
The Supreme Court issued an emergency order late Saturday, blocking the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelans held in a Texas detention center under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Justice Alito, in a dissenting opinion, criticized the majority's decision as unprecedented, hastily granted, and lacking sufficient factual support or explanation. The majority's order came without a response from the government and prevented deportations until further notice. The administration has sought reconsideration of the order.
