The Supreme Court issued an order to pause deportations under the Alien Enemies Act until a related lawsuit is resolved by the Fifth Circuit. This decision, made in a 7-2 ruling, reflects a significant judicial scrutiny towards the Act, suggesting the court's shifting perspective on immigration enforcement. The ruling comes after previous decisions that allowed deportations, raising questions about legality and humanitarian considerations regarding vulnerable detainees, particularly Venezuelans who face unique challenges at this time.
