Court of Appeals to hear oral arguments in high-profile deportation suit involving Venezuelan nationals

The D.C. appellate court will hear oral arguments after the Trump administration asked to stay a lower court's orders over Trump's authority to deport Venezuelan nationals.

The Trump administration had attempted to invoke a 1798 wartime authority to deport Venezuelan nationals, including alleged members of the gang Tren de Aragua (TdA), for a period of 14 days.  Haley Chi-Sing is a politics writer for Fox News Digital. You can reach her at @haleychising on X.

Last week, Obama-appointed, D.C.-based Judge James Boasberg issued an order to immediately halt any planned deportations of Venezuelan nationals to El Salvador. A plane carrying hundreds of U.S. migrants, including Venezuelan nationals removed under the law, arrived in El Salvador hours later despite the order.
