In recent weeks, President Trump's administration has faced significant legal challenges regarding the deportation of Venezuelan migrants accused of gang membership under the Alien Enemies Act. The Supreme Court has intervened, limiting the application of the law and preventing immediate deportations. The case has raised alarm among legal experts about potential constitutional violations by the administration, which has been accused of ignoring court orders amidst its immigration policies. The A.C.L.U. has actively challenged the legality of these actions, citing due process concerns and fear of expedited expulsions.
The Supreme Court has weighed in twice, issuing orders limiting the government's use of the law, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The Trump administration has been accused of disregarding judicial orders as it proceeds with its immigration policies, deepening concerns of a constitutional crisis.
The Alien Enemies Act allows the government to detain and expel immigrants age 14 or older without a court hearing when the United States is invaded or at war.
The A.C.L.U. filed a lawsuit in federal court in Washington seeking to block the president from invoking the law, fearing immediate expulsions.
