US EditionTrump Administration Asks Supreme Court to Allow Venezuelan Deportations to Resume
- On May 12, 2025, the Trump administration requested that the U.S. Supreme Court remove its temporary restriction to allow the deportation of close to 200 Venezuelan migrants held in Texas to proceed.
- The administration relied on a rarely used wartime statute from 1798 to defend deportations, citing concerns over gang ties and referencing an April incident at Bluebonnet Detention Facility where detainees threatened violence.
- Solicitor General John Sauer stated that some detainees pose serious risks to staff and inmates, and transferring prisoners risks expanding the Tren de Aragua gang's influence in U.S. Prisons.
- The Supreme Court previously paused deportations to ensure detainees receive notice and can challenge removals, with no habeas petitions filed as of May 12, and a survey showed 54% public support for Trump's immigration actions.
- The court’s decision could set important precedents on executive power, due process rights, and immigration enforcement, while critics warn this may sideline legal protections and strain international relations.
