The Supreme Court has intervened to stop the deportation of at least 30 Venezuelan immigrants detained in Texas, who were expected to be transferred to El Salvador. This decision follows legal actions contesting their removal under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. The ruling now places a hold on their deportation until the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals makes a judgment. Justices Thomas and Alito dissented from the majority decision, while two federal judges previously refrained from intervening in the case due to jurisdictional constraints. The matter remains under review by the courts.
The Supreme Court's ruling halts the transfer of Venezuelan immigrants to El Salvador, citing ongoing legal challenges related to their deportation under the Alien Enemies Act.
The Court mandated that the government cannot deport any detainees from this group until further notice, pending a decision from the Fifth Circuit.
Despite the opposing votes of Justices Thomas and Alito, the majority of the Court supported the stay, reflecting a split not on ideological lines but on legal interpretations.
Two federal judges recently declined to intervene in the case, emphasizing judicial limitations after the Supreme Court's directive regarding deportation jurisdiction.
