The Supreme Court issued an order instructing the Trump administration not to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members currently held in Texas while litigation is ongoing. Two conservative justices disagreed with the decision. The court order effectively paused the case, preventing the detainees from being removed from the United States until further notice. The detainees, who officials claim are members of the Tren de Aragua gang, are being targeted for deportation under the Alien Enemies Act. There are questions about the government’s authority to apply the law to gang members outside of wartime. The ACLU is representing the detainees and is seeking to prevent their removal before due process is provided. The Supreme Court previously ruled that individuals facing deportation under the Alien Enemies Act must have the opportunity to challenge the decision through habeas corpus petitions. The case raises concerns about Trump’s use of presidential power and the administration’s compliance with court orders. Litigation is also ongoing over the mistaken deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador. The Supreme Court’s decision was not unanimous, and this is a developing story with ongoing updates expected. Lawrence Hurley, a senior Supreme Court reporter for NBC News, is covering the case.
