The Trump administration has petitioned the Supreme Court to use the Alien Enemies Act for deporting Venezuelans, arguing that this urgent action is necessary for national security. This move follows a federal appeals court's block on such deportations, prompting the administration to claim a fundamental question over the presidential authority in sensitive national security matters. This case may significantly test the balance of power between the executive branch and the judiciary, particularly concerning Trump's tactics in immigration enforcement and his criticism of judicial rulings.
The Trump administration's request to the Supreme Court aims to utilize a wartime law to expedite the deportation of Venezuelans without due process.
Acting Solicitor General Sarah M. Harris emphasized the urgency of the situation, suggesting that the president must decide on national security operations.
