Supreme Court Blocks Alien Enemies Act Deportations

“The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration early Saturday to temporarily halt the deportations of at least 30 alleged Venezuelan gang members who immigration advocates say were at imminent risk of being removed from the country,” the Washington Post reports.

Wall Street Journal: “The order came early Saturday after lawyers for the migrants asked the justices to step in on an emergency basis to halt their deportations as reports came that immigration officials began loading the detainees onto buses for deportation under the Alien Enemies Act.”

“Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented from the order.”
