A Texas judge, a Trump appointee, blocked the Trump administration's attempt to deport Venezuelan migrants using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. The judge ruled the act doesn't apply to individuals, but rather to invading armies. While a landmark victory, the ruling's narrow interpretation leaves a loophole for future attempts. The decision is expected to be appealed to the 5th Circuit Court, known for its conservative leanings, and eventually reach the Supreme Court.
