Supreme Court Sides With Trump Over Venezuelan Deportations, But Requires Due Process For Each Case

The Supreme Court on Monday sided with the Trump administration's request to halt lower court judge James Boasberg's order stopping Trump from deporting suspected members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA).
"We grant the application and vacate the [temporary restraining orders]," the court said in its unsigned 5-4 opinion.

And while this may be a win for Trump, its impact was muted by the fact that detainees must be given due process before they are deported.

"AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act. The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs," the court wrote in its majority opinion.

Predictably penning the dissent was Justice Sonia Sotomayor - who was joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, while Justice Amy Coney Barrett partially joined Sotomayor’s dissent.
