Supreme Court Blocks Trump from Reviving Alien Enemies Act Deportations
In a major legal blow, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled against former President Trump’s attempt to reinstate deportation powers under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act—a law originally used during wartime to expel foreign nationals from hostile countries.
The Court determined the administration’s interpretation of the law exceeded constitutional boundaries, particularly in the absence of a formal congressional declaration of war.
Critics called the move authoritarian. Supporters framed it as a national security necessity. Either way, the ruling reinforces the limits of executive immigration power.
