The U.S. Supreme Court intervened to stop the deportation of over 50 Venezuelan migrants after the ACLU filed an emergency petition. The administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 raised concerns about judicial processes being bypassed. Although ordered to halt removals, dissenting justices expressed concern over the implications for executive power. The ongoing legal battles highlight the complex nature of immigration enforcement and the critical role of courts in protecting migrants' rights amid aggressive deportation policies.
The Supreme Court's unsigned order emphasized that the government must not remove any member of the class of detainees until the court provides further instruction.
The notable dissent from Justices Alito and Thomas underscores the division in the Court regarding the Trump administration's aggressive deportation efforts under the Alien Enemies Act.
