WASHINGTON, April 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a victory on Monday by letting him use a 1798 law that historically has been employed only in wartime to swiftly deport alleged Venezuelan gang members as part of the Republican president's hardline approach to immigration.
The court granted the administration's request to lift Washington-based U.S. Judge James Boasberg's March 15 order that had temporarily blocked the summary deportations under Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act while litigation in the case continues.
 
This should negate dozens of lawsuits by the far left Democratic loons.

Leave it to the sick Democrats to oppose the deportation of violent illegal child rapists, gang members, and murderers.
 
Actually, the MAGA packed court WEASLED a half assed "victory" ... giving the appearance of full consent and legalization of EVERYTHING Cheeto Jeezus and company are doing. As always, the devil is in the details www.npr.org/2025/04/07/nx-s1-5345601/supreme-court-alien-enemies-act

And then there is the question of Garcia and Andry

Donald Trump's greatest ability is his knack for getting far left loons to argue in favor of shit everyone with a brain knows is bad or wrong.

It's uncanny how he keeps doing it.
 
I would expect NGO's and judges to conspire to make sure that there are no more successful uses of this law.
 
This is a very big decision.

It validates the Alien Enemies Act which has only been challenged once, unsuccessfully.

Of course the deportations of those illegals who do not belong to terrorist designated gangs and have committed no crimes, continue.

Arrest and deport, it is the law.

ROFLMAO.

It's amazing how Trumpers are so delusional. The court ruled that everyone has the right to due process before they are deported. They specifically did not answer the question of whether the 1798 law could be used for deportations because they simply punted by claiming the case was filed in the wrong court district.

The plaintiffs in the case "challenge the government's interpretation of the Act and assert that they do not fall within the category of removable alien enemies. But we do not reach those arguments," the court decided.

No. The ruling in no way validates the Alien Enemies Act. The Court specifically did NOT address that question.

Supreme Court allows Trump to continue Venezuelan deportations​

(The Center Square) – The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday that a lower federal court doesn’t have jurisdiction in a lawsuit filed to prevent deportations of violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua prison gang members illegally in the U.S.

The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration’s emergency request to intervene in a case challenging the deportations, and vacated a lower court’s temporary restraining orders that halted them.

“The Supreme Court has upheld the Rule of Law in our Nation by allowing a President, whoever that may be, to be able to secure our Borders, and protect our families and our Country, itself. A GREAT DAY FOR JUSTICE IN AMERICA!” Trump said in response.

The salient part:

"After the ruling, removal of Venezuelan TdA members illegally in the U.S. will continue."
