Supreme Court Sides with Violent Terrorist Gangs Raping America
The Supreme Court on Friday decided in favor of an appeal by a group of Venezuelan migrants who asked the high court to halt their deportation under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA).
The decision, similar to others it has made in the past on the matter, revolved around the alleged illegal immigrants not having enough time to reasonably file a challenge to their deportations. Two justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, dissented.
President Donald Trump has been using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to try and speed up the deportation processes of illegal immigrants, but the Supreme Court's Friday ruling presents another blow to those attempts after the court ruled against the Trump administration in their effort to remove men already in immigration custody in a northern region of Texas.
"Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster. But it is not optimal for this Court, far removed from the circumstances on the ground, to determine in the first instance the precise process necessary to satisfy the Constitution in this case. We remand the case to the Fifth Circuit for that purpose," the ruling from the court reads.
The court did not rule on Friday on whether the AEA was lawful, but rather sent the matter back to the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
"To be clear, we decide today only that the detainees are entitled to more notice than was given on April 18," the Supreme Court's ruling said.
Last month, the Supreme Court lifted a lower court's order barring the government from deporting migrants under the AEA. However, that decision also made clear that anyone the government wants to deport must be given proper notice. A few weeks after that decision, the Court halted deportations of illegal immigrants in Texas that the Trump administration was trying to proceed with under the AEA.
