John,
In a “significant loss for Trump,” the U.S. Supreme Court recently blocked the Trump administration from deporting more immigrants through the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
The Court said the administration violated a group of Venezuelan immigrants' right to due process by trying to deport them with less than 24 hours' notice.
But this fight isn’t over, John. This is a surprising step in the right direction by the Court, but it could only be temporary, as they sent the case back to the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals for further review.
Now, courts continue to wrestle with whether or not Trump’s use of this wartime law to carry out rapid deportations is legal, and how much time immigrants must be given to plead their case.
We know Trump and his far-right team won’t give up their mass deportation agenda so easily — they’re already criticizing the courts for slowing down their ability to deport immigrants as quickly as possible.
Help us keep up the fight to protect due process and the Constitution: pitch in $5 or more today.
In solidarity,
