Overview

• The Supreme Court's April 7 ruling requires notice and judicial review for Venezuelans detained under the Alien Enemies Act before deportation.
• Lower courts are interpreting and enforcing the due process mandates, with variability in notice adequacy and judicial procedures expected.
• Litigants argue that English-only notices fail to meet the Court's requirements, leaving detainees unable to effectively challenge removals.
• The case of Kilmar Abrego García, wrongfully deported to El Salvador, highlights the human and legal costs of administrative errors under expedited removal policies.
• Legal experts predict the issue will likely return to the Supreme Court, as lower courts apply differing standards for due process compliance.
