The US Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to pause the deportation of a group of accused Venezuelan gang members.
A civil liberties group is suing the administration over planned deportations of Venezuelans detained in north Texas under an 18th-century wartime law.
On Saturday, the Supreme Court ordered the government not to remove any of the detainees “until further order of this Court”.
Donald Trump has sent accused Venezuelan gang members to a notorious mega-jail in El Salvador, invoking the 1798 Alien Enemies Act which gives the president power to order the detention and deportation of natives or citizens of “enemy” nations without usual processes.
Trump had accused Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua of “perpetrating, attempting, and threatening an invasion or predatory incursion” on US territory.
