0:18Now PlayingA divided US Supreme Court let President Donald Trump resume using a wartime law to try to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members, giving the administration a boost in a high-profile clash over the limits of presidential power.
Granting an emergency request by Trump on a 5-4 vote, the justices tossed out a lower court order that had paused deportations under the Alien Enemies Act while litigation continues. The majority said detainees must have notice and a chance to make their case to a judge before they are deported.
In an unsigned opinion, the court downplayed the significance of its decision, saying it was requiring only that detainees challenge their deportation through a so-called habeas corpus case filed in the jurisdiction where they are being held. That means the five men pressing the case will have to press their arguments in Texas, not the Washington court where they sued.
Trump hailed the decision in a social media post. “The Supreme Court has upheld the Rule of Law in our Nation by allowing a President, whoever that may be, to be able to secure our Borders, and protect our families and our Country, itself,” he wrote on Truth Social.
