Supreme Court Blocks Alien Enemies Act Deportations

News summary

In a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan detainees accused of gang membership under the Alien Enemies Act, citing inadequate notice and due process violations. The Court criticized the administration for providing less than 24 hours' notice and insufficient information on detainees' rights, and highlighted the risk of indefinite detention abroad. The case has been remanded to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to determine the legality of applying the Alien Enemies Act for these deportations and what notice is constitutionally required. Deportations remain on hold pending further review. Justices Alito and Thomas dissented, arguing the Court's intervention was premature. The ruling signals judicial skepticism toward the use of the Alien Enemies Act for immigration enforcement and emphasizes due process protections.
