The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants without due process, highlighting significant violations of their legal rights. The 7-2 decision stressed that the migrants were given insufficient notice prior to removal, particularly regarding their rights to contest deportation. While the court affirmed the importance of these rights, it noted the complexity of determining the optimal procedural safeguards needed for such cases, leaving some jurisdictional issues unresolved. This ruling underscores the ongoing legal debates about immigration and due process.
The detainees' interests at stake are accordingly particularly weighty. Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster.
But it is not optimal for this court, far removed from the circumstances on the ground, to determine in the first instance the precise process necessary to satisfy the Constitution in this case.
