US EditionSupreme Court Blocks Trump's Deportation Plan Under 1798 Alien Enemies Act
- On May 16, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration's attempt to deport Venezuelan migrants under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
- The administration sought to use the wartime law to deport alleged gang members without sufficient judicial review, but the court found the detainees lacked adequate notice or opportunity to contest removal.
- The court upheld that detainees must receive timely and meaningful access to due process and sent the case back to a lower appeals court to determine proper procedures.
- The justices faulted the administration for giving only 24 hours’ notice devoid of instructions, stating, "notice roughly 24 hours before removal... Does not pass muster," while two conservative justices dissented.
- The ruling curtails the executive branch's deportation efforts under the rarely used law and underscores ongoing judicial resistance to the administration’s hardline immigration policies.
