Supreme Court Forces Trump Admin to Stop Deporting Gang Members: Explainer

On a previous episode, we discussed how the Supreme Court ruled in Trump’s favor in an immigration case—a case involving the deportation of illegal immigrants present here in the United States. However, that earlier case was won by Trump on a technicality: the lawyers for the illegal immigrant decided to file their case in Washington (rather than in Texas, where the man was being held) and, therefore, the case was dismissed due to being brought forth in the wrong venue.

But, very notably, the underlying legal issues weren’t actually examined. The question of whether the Alien Enemies Act could really be used against illegal immigrants such as Venezuelan gang members wasn’t ruled on.

Therefore, more lawsuits were filed. And one of those new lawsuits bore fruit, as the U.S. Supreme Court decided to stop the Trump administration from being able to deport members of Tren de Aragua, for now.
