In a 5-4 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court tonight ruled in favor of the Trump Administration’s use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal migrants believed to be members of the Venezuelan gang known as “Tren de Aragua” to El Salvador, however adding that deportees must be given a chance to challenge their removal in a U.S. Federal Court. All conservative justices ruled in favor, besides Justice Amy Coney Barrett who joined the three liberal justices in dissenting with the majority ruling led by Chief Justice John Roberts.
While the ruling is a clear win for the Trump Administration, with President Trump stating in a post on Truth Social, “The Supreme Court has upheld the Rule of Law in our Nation by allowing a President, whoever that may be, to be able to secure our Borders, and protect our families and our Country, itself. A GREAT DAY FOR JUSTICE IN AMERICA!” Other groups like the ACLU are also claiming victory, with federal immigration officials now being forced to prove a deportee is part of a group that is “conducting warfare against the United States” before they can be deported to another country like El Salvador. The initial deportation of over 100 migrants to El Salvador in February and March received heavy criticism from some, after immigration officials admitted that many of those deported did not have criminal records at the time of their deportation and also were not allowed a court appearance before being removed from the United States.
