Supreme Court pauses deportations under Alien Enemies Act in Texas
- On Friday, the Supreme Court prevented the Trump administration from immediately restarting the deportation of Venezuelan men detained in north Texas under a centuries-old wartime statute.
- The court responded to an urgent petition submitted by attorneys representing Venezuelan men accused of gang involvement, contesting the application of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act for expedited deportation.
- The Court indefinitely extended the deportation ban from the Texas detention facility, reaffirming people must have reasonable time to challenge removals, though it did not specify the exact duration.
- Justice Kavanaugh agreed with the majority's decision but would have preferred a final ruling now, while Justices Alito and Thomas dissented, criticizing the Court's deviation from usual procedures.
- The ruling marks another setback for the administration's effort to speed deportations using the Alien Enemies Act, with the case returning to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals for further proceedings.
