Supreme Court Blocks Deportations Under Alien Enemies Act — For Now
In a late-night emergency order, the U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily halted the deportation of Venezuelan migrants detained under the controversial 1798 Alien Enemies Act. The Biden administration attempted to revive this wartime-era law to fast-track removals—without court hearings.
The ACLU argued the move was unconstitutional. Even conservative justices like Alito called the block "unprecedented," but the high court sided with due process… at least for now.
Why it matters: This case could set a major precedent on executive power, immigration, and civil liberties heading into 2026.
