The Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration not to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members based in Texas while litigation is ongoing. The court directed the government not to remove any detainees until further order, hitting pause on the case in the Northern District of Texas. The men are being held under the Alien Enemies Act, and there are questions about the government’s authority to apply the law to gang members. The ACLU filed a Supreme Court application on behalf of the detainees, requesting that the status quo be preserved until due process is afforded. The court also ruled that any people the government wants to deport under the Alien Enemies Act must be given the chance to challenge the decision. This case raises concerns about the administration’s compliance with court orders and its use of presidential power. The Supreme Court’s decision is in response to an appeals court request, and further action will be taken once that court has acted. This story is still developing, and updates will be provided.
