Supreme Court temporarily blocks new deportations under Alien Enemies Act

The U.S. Supreme Court on Saturday temporarily blocked the deportations of any Venezuelans held in northern Texas under an 18th-century wartime law.

In a brief order, the court directed the Trump administration not to remove Venezuelans held in the Bluebonnet Detention Center "until further order from this court."

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented.
