n April 19, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 7–2 ruling temporarily halting the deportation of Venezuelan nationals detained in Texas under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) of 1798. This decision came in response to an emergency appeal by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which argued that the detainees were being deported without due process. The court’s order prevents the government from proceeding with these deportations until further notice, highlighting concerns over the detainees’ rights to fair legal proceedings.

The Trump administration had invoked the AEA to expedite the removal of individuals it alleged were affiliated with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. However, critics argue that many of those deported had no criminal records or clear gang affiliations. Notably, over 200 Venezuelan and Salvadoran men were deported to El Salvador, with some cases, like that of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, later acknowledged as mistakes.

The Supreme Court’s intervention underscores the ongoing legal and ethical debates surrounding the use of the AEA for immigration enforcement. While the administration defends its actions as lawful, opponents raise concerns about executive overreach and the erosion of due process rights for migrants. The Guardian+6POLITICO+6Wikipedia+6
