Supreme Court blocks, for now, new deportations under Alien Enemies Act
Briefly

The Supreme Court recently intervened to prevent the deportation of Venezuelans held at the Bluebonnet Detention Center, exposing the complexities surrounding the Alien Enemies Act. This act, which allows expedited removal of individuals seen as threats, was under scrutiny after the ACLU raised concerns about the government's fast-tracked deportations without due process. Despite warnings from civil rights advocates, authorities claim compliance with court orders. The case highlights ongoing tensions between immigration enforcement and judicial oversight in the U.S. amid allegations of terrorism ties from some detainees.
The Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelans held at the Bluebonnet Detention Center under the Alien Enemies Act until further notice.
The ACLU warned about quick removals under the Alien Enemies Act and affirmed that the detainees must have due process to challenge their removals.
Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security stated that they were complying with the Supreme Court's ruling and did not provide specifics on counter terrorism operations.
The recent Supreme Court ruling asserts that the Trump administration can deport under the act only if due process is ensured for detainees.
