Overview

  • The U.S. Supreme Court has suspended the deportation of Venezuelan migrants detained under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, pending further judicial review.
  • President Donald Trump invoked the rarely used law to detain migrants accused of ties to the Tren de Aragua gang and planned to expel them to a prison in El Salvador.
  • The American Civil Liberties Union argued that detainees were targeted based on tattoos rather than proven gang affiliations and lacked the opportunity to contest their expulsions.
  • The Alien Enemies Act, historically used during wartime against Japanese and German nationals, is being applied in peacetime for the first time in over 75 years.
  • The White House announced plans to legally challenge the Supreme Court's suspension order, continuing its broader push to expedite undocumented migrant expulsions.
