Overview

• The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily stopped the deportation of Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act, citing legal concerns.
• President Trump authorized the deportations, claiming the migrants are members of the Tren de Aragua gang, a designation contested by human rights groups.
• The deportations would send migrants to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador under an agreement with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele.
• Trump criticized the Supreme Court justices as 'weak and incompetent' on Truth Social and vowed to appeal the decision, calling opponents 'radical activists.'
• Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented, labeling the court’s decision legally questionable and procedurally flawed.
