Supreme Court Rules on Trump Administration's Deportation Policy

The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled on several immigration-related cases involving the Trump administration, including the controversial deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident mistakenly sent to a Salvadoran prison. The Court unanimously ordered the administration to facilitate Garcia's return, emphasizing the need for due process in deportation cases. Concurrently, in a 5-4 decision, the Court allowed the administration to continue deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, stating legal challenges must be heard in the location where detainees are held. Dissenting opinions voiced concerns over the potential violation of due process rights, with justices warning against the government's ability to deport individuals, including U.S. citizens, without judicial oversight. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the administration's actions, suggesting the ruling emphasizes executive authority in foreign affairs. These developments highlight ongoing tensions over immigration policies and the balance of power between the judicial and executive branches.
