The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily halted the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan men in immigration custody without judicial review. Lawyers for the ACLU argued that the men were at risk of immediate removal without due process. Conservative Justices Thomas and Alito dissented from the decision. The administration invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport these men, who were reportedly part of a criminal gang labeled as a terrorist group. The administration’s actions have raised concerns about adherence to Supreme Court limits, potentially leading to a constitutional crisis. While a district judge allowed the deportations, the ACLU sought to block them through various legal avenues, including filing urgent requests with the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ordered the government to halt the deportations and invited a response after the 5th Circuit Court acts. The issue at hand is whether the detainees have been provided adequate due process before deportation. The detainees have been given notices of their classification as members of the gang, but challenges have been raised about the evidence used to justify their deportation. The administration has not disclosed how much notice it intends to give the migrants before removal. Trump has indicated support for the deportations if the individuals are deemed “bad people.” The administration’s actions have faced criticism for lack of transparency and due process.
