Trump Administration Appeals to Supreme Court Over Blocked Deportations of Venezuelan Nationals
The administration challenges a restraining order halting the use of the Alien Enemies Act, as Republicans push for limits on judicial authority.
- The Supreme Court has yet to rule on the Trump administration's emergency appeal to lift a restraining order blocking deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.
- Judge James Boasberg extended the restraining order through April 12, citing concerns about due process and constitutional overreach.
- Republican lawmakers are preparing legislative measures to curtail federal judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions against executive actions.
- President Trump continues to criticize Judge Boasberg and other judges, accusing them of obstructing his deportation agenda and calling for Boasberg's impeachment.
- Deportation flights to El Salvador, conducted before the restraining order took effect, have drawn scrutiny due to detainees being placed in controversial prison conditions.
