Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday said it will continue to block the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan men detained in northern Texas while they pursue a challenge to their removals under the wartime Alien Enemies Act.
The order from the high court grants an emergency injunction sought by lawyers for a group of Venezuelan migrants who they said faced "imminent" risk of removal under President Trump's March proclamation invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. It maintains an early directive issued by the Supreme Court last month that temporarily prohibited the government from removing the Venezuelan migrants held at the Bluebonnet Detention Facility in Anson, Texas, under the 18th-century law.
The Supreme Court's April order, issued overnight, blocked the deportations "until further order of this court."
Shortly after the ruling Friday, Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social: "THE SUPREME COURT WON'T ALLOW US TO GET CRIMINALS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!"
Friday's order was unsigned, and two justices dissented: Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas.
