The Supreme Court maintains a temporary block on the deportations of the Trump E inland Enemies Act

The Supreme Court, in a 7-2 decisionProlonged its injunction which temporarily prohibits the Trump administration from withdrawing the United States Venezuelan immigrants under the proclamation of the Act respecting extraterrestrial enemies and referred the case to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals American to resolve the question of how much should be granted to detainees to contest their moves.
The majority said that the government had not provided migrants targeted under the war authority with enough time or information to challenge their cases.
“The interests of prisoners at stake are therefore particularly heavy. In these circumstances, notice approximately 24 hours before withdrawal, devoid of information on how to exercise the rights of the regular procedure to challenge this withdrawal, surely does not succeed,” the majority wrote in the decision. “But it is not optimal for this court, far from the circumstances on the ground, to determine in the first place the precise process necessary to satisfy the Constitution in this case.”

The command applied to migrants held in Texas. The judges did not reach the question of the legality of the moves under the law on extraterrestrial enemies.
“We recognize the importance of government’s national security interests as well as the need for such interests to be pursued in accordance with the Constitution. In the light of the above, the lower courts should quickly approach AEA affairs,” they wrote.
Judges Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissident.
Shortly after the court made his decision, President Donald Trump published a declaration of all the caps on the social truth exploding the judges of the majority for their decision.
“The Supreme Court will not allow us to get out of the criminals of our country!” He said.
Trump continued to slam them in a second post later Friday.
“The Supreme Court has just ruled that the worst murderers, drug traffickers, gang members and even those who are mentally crazy, who have entered our country illegally, are not allowed to be forced to go through a long, prolonged and costly legal process, which will even take crimes before even seeing the inside of a courtyard”, “he wrote.
Trump said that the decision “would let more criminals are dumped in our country” and will “find it very difficult for our American darling audience”.
“The United States Supreme Court does not allow me to do what I was elected.” In any event, thank you to judge Alito and judge Thomas for trying to protect our country. It’s a bad and dangerous day for America! “
Lee Genernt, lawyer for the American civil liberties Union, said on Friday in a statement that the Supreme Court “had properly paused” on the use of the law on extraterrestrial enemies.
“For the moment, this means that no one can be rushed to a brutal foreign prison, perhaps with the rest of their lives,” he said.
Earlier this week, the Trump administration asked the court to remove its injunction, arguing that migrants he intended to deport under the law were dangerous.
The initial ordinance of the Court was reduced as a rare night decision at the early hours of Saturday, April 19 and prevented the administration from deporting migrants from Texas.
In particular, Friday’s ordinance prevents the Trump administration from withdrawing migrants under the proclamation of the law on extraterrestrial enemies, the majority opinion indicating in its last sentence: “The government can withdraw the complainants appointed or the putative members of the class under other legitimate authorities”.
