Supreme Court Puts Deportations on Hold Amid Alien Enemies Act Debate

Washington, DC (CNN) — Early Saturday, the Supreme Court suspended deportations of immigrants potentially affected by the Alien Enemies Act, halting actions against a group in Texas claiming imminent removal by the Trump administration. Conservative Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented. Venezuelan attorneys filed an emergency appeal, asserting insufficient notice to contest deportations. The court mandated that the government refrain from removals until further notice. The White House defended its stance, emphasizing lawful measures against perceived threats, while expressing confidence amid ongoing litigation.
