The U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision early Saturday morning, temporarily halting President Trump’s attempt to deport Venezuelan nationals under The Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The ACLU, representing the plaintiffs, sought an emergency injunction from the Supreme Court after learning that detained immigrants were being prepared for deportation. The case is currently before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
In an unsigned order, the Supreme Court granted the ACLU’s request, pausing the deportation of numerous Venezuelans held at the Bluebonnet Detention Center in Texas pending the Fifth Circuit’s ruling.
