The US Supreme Court on Friday temporarily blocked the Trump Administration from deporting dangerous Venezuelan gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.
In an unsigned order, the high court said the Trump DOJ did not give the Venezuelans enough time to challenge their removals.
“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,” the unsigned decision read.
Justices Alito and Thomas dissented.
The case will now go back down the the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to decide how much notice detainees must be given prior to removal.
