U.S. Supreme Court Blocks Some Alien Enemies Act Deportations - Worthy Christian News
- The US Supreme Court ruled on May 17, 2025, to temporarily halt deportations of Venezuelans detained under the Alien Enemies Act in Texas.
- The ruling followed President Trump's March 15, 2025, designation of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua as a terrorist group and his subsequent invocations of the 1798 law to expedite deportations.
- The Court found that the detainees were entitled to due process and reasonable notice, holding that giving roughly 24 hours’ notice lacked sufficient time for legal challenges or counsel contact.
- In a 7-2 decision with dissent from Justices Alito and Thomas, the majority noted the detainees’ interests were “particularly weighty” and recognized government national security concerns must align with constitutional protections.
- The decision pauses deportations pending further legal review and suggests the government must provide more time for due process, while President Trump criticized the ruling as enabling criminals to remain in the country.
