In the rare and dramatic intervention of the late night, the US Supreme Court on Saturday (April 19) temporarily stopped President Donald Trump using a centuries -old alien hostile law on the deportation of Venezuelan migrants without a proper process.
The emergency order issued in two terms paragraphs temporarily blocking the administration to exclude dozens of Venezuelan detainees under the law of 1798.
In particular, two of the most conservative judges disagreed. The decision came just hours before the planned mass deportation.
“The government is ordered not to remove any member of the alleged class detained from the United States until the next order,” the court said.
ACLU: “They were in immediate danger”
The American Union of Civil Freedoms, which led a legal challenge, welcomed the decision as a measures to save life.
“These men were in the immediate danger of spending their lives in a terrible foreign prison without having a chance to come to justice,” said Lee Gelernt, the main representative for ACLU. “We were relieved that the Supreme Court did not allow the administration to whisk them as the others were last month.”
Trump’s use of unclear LLW Sparks
Last month, President Trump triggered an extraterrestrial hostile law on the deportation of Venezuelan migrants and accused them of reference to violent gangs such as Tren de Aragua, now marked by the terrorist organization of the American government.
He justified the summary expulsion and use of notorious Salvador prisons by claiming that he was part of the intervention against “terrorists” and “foreign criminals”.
Critics, however, claim that the administration in this process pedaled over the constitution.
Law of another era
The Law on Extraterrestrial Hostile Laws, signed in the law in 1798, was rarely used in modern history. Its most famous application was during World War II, when it was used to detain Japanese-American citizens in internment camps.
Civil rights advocates claim that its current use reflects this dark period.
‘Administrative Error’
One of the most important cases includes Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the inhabitants of Maryland, who was deported to Salvador without accusations, what Ice later called “administrative mistake”.
The court ruled that the administration must facilitate its return, but Trump refused to follow. On Friday, the president published the apparently tested picture of Abrego Garcia with MS-13 tattooed through his joints and doubled the claim that he was a member of the gang.
Cecot: “Hellhole”
Deported migrants are now held in the center for retention of terrorism (Cecot) in Salvador-Mega-imprisonment with a capacity for 40,000 prisoners. Human rights observers have described as inhuman, prison prohibits visits and retains houses in cells without windows on metal bunk beds without mattresses.
