The Supreme Court issued an order in the early hours of Saturday directing the Trump administration not to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members in Texas while litigation is ongoing. The court did not make a final decision on the case but paused any deportations until further notice. Conservative Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito disagreed with the decision. The detainees are being held at the Bluebonnet Detention Center in Anson, Texas, and the government is seeking to deport them under the Alien Enemies Act. There are concerns about the government’s authority to apply this law to gang members outside of wartime situations. The ACLU, representing the detainees, is requesting that due process be followed before any deportations occur. The Supreme Court is awaiting a response from the government once an appeals court has acted. This case raises questions about the Trump administration’s use of presidential power and compliance with court orders. A previous Supreme Court decision emphasized that individuals subject to deportation under the Alien Enemies Act have the right to challenge the decision through habeas corpus petitions. The case also highlights ongoing litigation related to the mistaken deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador by the Trump administration.
