The US Supreme Court ruled on Monday in favor of President Donald Trump and canceled the lower court order that blocked deportation of undocumented Venezuelan migrants under the rarely used war law.
However, the High Court also clarified that migrants who face deportation under the Act on Extraterrestrial Hostility Laws of 1798 must be legally allowed to attack their removal.
The decision 5-4, issued by the Supreme Court for the Conservative majority, allows Trump’s administration to restore deportations previously stopped by the judge of the Federal District Court.
What is the Law on Extraterrestrial Enemy Acts?
The Law on Extraterrestrial Laws of 1798, part of the wider extraterrestrial and random acts, is the Federal Law of the US, which provides the President to detain or relocate citizens from countries considered hostile at the time of the war or invasion. Specifically, it focuses on immigrants without providing court hearing on the basis of their country of origin or citizenship.

Historically, this act was caused during significant conflicts. In the war of 1812, British nationals in the US were obliged to provide personal data such as the place of stay, age, family background and naturalization status. During the First World War, this act was used to target German, Austro-Hungarian and Italian immigrants, leading to restrictions, expulsion and detention.
Most remarkably, during World War II, the US government moved and imprisoned around 120,000 individuals of Japanese origin, most of which were American citizens, from the west coast to internment camps in the interior.
This action, managed by law, is an important and regrettable chapter in American history, while Congress, Presidents and courts later recognize and express regret for these injustices.
The purpose of the Law on Extraterrestrial Hostile Laws was to prevent foreign espionage and sabotage during the war. However, its application against the legal present immigrants has caused serious concerns about constitutional rights, in particular a proper process and the same protection, without evidence of displeasure.
The purpose of the Law on Extraterrestrial Hostile Laws was to prevent foreign espionage and sabotage during the war.
The law can only be induced during the declared war or in the case of an “invasion” or “predatory invasion” against the US territory, which will be dealt with with legal and constitutional powers.
According to reports, the law on extraterrestrial hostile laws has been launched three times in history – according to reports of the war 1812, the First World War and World War II.
