1.1 Deportation Policies and Legal Challenges

The Supreme Court has ordered a temporary halt to deportations under the 18th century Alien Enemies Act, specifically blocking the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants [1][2]. This follows Federal Judge James Boasberg’s earlier denial of an emergency request to block “imminent” deportation flights under the same act [3]. SCOTUS specifically blocked deportation of alleged Tren De Aragua gang members [4]. In a parallel development, a Biden-appointed judge blocked Trump’s plan for rapid third-country deportations [5].
