The United States — Supreme Court of the United States issued an order in the middle of the night, blocking the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelans held in northern Texas under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, wrote a sharp dissent, criticizing the majority's decision as 'unprecedented' and 'hastily and prematurely granted' without sufficient explanation or hearing from the government's side. The American Civil Liberties Union filed the emergency appeal, contending that immigration authorities were moving to restart removals. The Trump administration has filed paperwork urging the high court to reconsider its hold. This event reflects a significant legal challenge to the administration's immigration policies and raises questions about judicial process and executive authority.
