Headlines: Supreme Court overturns Judge Boasberg, sides with Trump on deporting gang members under 1798 law Click Here Supreme Court lets Trump administration resume deportations under Alien Enemies Act Click Here CNN -- Supreme Court allows Trump to enforce Alien Enemies Act for rapid deportations Click Here LA Times --Supreme Court upholds Trump's war power to deport Venezuelan gang members Click Here One of the most closely watched cases has been decided by SCOTUS, allowing swift deportations under the 1798 law. By a 5-4 vote the decision overrode Judge Boasberg, "noting the high court had already settled issues over the law in 1948 and limited judges' ability to interfere with the president under the law to a habeas petition." "The justices poignantly slammed the judge and the lawyers in the case for what is called judge shopping, stating the plaintiffs were being held in a Texas detention center and had no right to have their case heard before Boasberg in Washington, D.C." "The detainees are confined in Texas, so venue is improper in the District of Columbia," the justices declared. Trump praised the ruling on his Truth Central website writing it was it was “a great day for justice in America.” AG Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also praised the verdict. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to use an 18th century wartime law to deport Venezuelan migrants, but said they must get a court hearing before they are taken from the United States. In a bitterly divided decision, the court said the administration must give Venezuelans who it claims are gang members “reasonable time” to go to court. But the conservative majority said the legal challenges must take place in Texas, instead of a Washington courtroom. The court’s action appears to bar the administration from immediately resuming the flights that last month carried hundreds of migrants to a notorious prison in El Salvador. The flights came soon after President Donald Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act for the first time since World War II to justify the deportations under a presidential proclamation calling the Tren de Aragua gang an invading force. |
