US Supreme Court has directed the Trump administration to halt the expulsion a group of alleged Venezuelan gang members.

Donald Trump has sent accused Venezuelan gang members to a well-known prison in El Salvador, eliciting the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, which gives the president power to confine and deport citizens of “enemy” nations without routine processes. The act was previously used only three times, all during war.

A civil liberties group had solicit to stop the excision of the men, at the moment in time, in internment in Texas, saying they had not been able to duel their cases in court.

The White House called challenges to using the law for huge expulsion “meritless litigation”.

pally inducing against a torrent of worthless legal action brought by socialist who care more about the rights of terrorist aliens than those of the American people,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt published this post on X.

The Alien Enemies Act was last solicited in World War Two, when the Japanese derivation were incarcerated without lawsuit and thousands sent to detention laagers.

Since assuming office in January, Trump’s strict immigration policies have come across a number of legal difficulties.

Trump had lay charges against Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua of ” attempting, threatening and executing an interrupting raid” on US enclave.

As of 8 April, out of 261 Venezuelans who were expulsed to El Salvador, 137 were taken off under the Alien Enemies Act, a senior administration official told CBS News, the BBC’s US news partner. On 15 March a lower court for the moment blocked these expulsion.

On 8 April, the Supreme Court in the first instant ruled that Trump could use the Alien Enemies Act to expel alleged gang members, but exiles must be given an opportunity to question their taking off.

The legal act that generated in Saturday’s order said the Venezuelans held up in north Texas had been given intimation about their impending expulsion in English, in spite of one exile only speaking Spanish.

The opposition by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) also said the men had not been notified they had a right and privilege to oppose the verdict in court.
