The US Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to stop deporting Venezuelan citizens. Venezuelan nationals alleged to be members of criminal gangs are being held in North Texas under an 18th-century wartime law. According to American media, civil liberties groups filed a lawsuit against the government on their behalf.
US President Donald Trump is using the 'Alien Enemies Act' of 1798 to target Venezuelan gangs. The member has been sent to the notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. The act gives the US president the power to detain and deport nationals or citizens of 'enemy' countries without due process.
The 'Alien Enemies Act' had been used only three times in the US before during the war. The last time the Act was used was during World War II, when people of Japanese descent were imprisoned without trial and thousands were sent to internment camps.
Since taking office in January, Trump's radical immigration policy has faced several legal hurdles. Trump has been accusing the Venezuelan "Tren de Aragua" group of attacking, infiltrating and threatening US territory.
According to CBS News, 137 of the 261 Venezuelan citizens who were sent to El Salvador until April 8 were expelled from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act. But the US court on March 15 temporarily stopped such deportation.
The Supreme Court initially ruled on April 8 that President Trump could deport the gang member It was mentioned that the 'Alien Enemies Act' could be used. But before deporting them, it is mentioned in the court's decision that they should be given a chance to challenge.
The court ruled in Saturday's case that Venezuelan nationals detained in North Texas were notified in English of their deportation. But one prisoner spoke only Spanish. The lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said that those people were not given the right to fight a legal battle.
'Dozens or hundreds of proposed members could face possible life sentences in El Salvador without court intervention. And, they will not get an opportunity to fight any battle about introduction or expulsion,” the case said. Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito disagreed with the Trump administration's move on Saturday.
In his inauguration speech in January, President Trump promised to "remove the presence of all foreign gangs and criminal networks that bring destructive crime to American soil".
Earlier, the US government admitted that it had mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a citizen of El Salvador. The government has been claiming that he is a member of the 'MS-13' gang. But his lawyer and family have refused. Abrego Garcia has never been convicted of a crime.
The Supreme Court has unanimously said that the government should facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia. But the Trump administration has said he will "never" live in America again. Maryland Democrat Senator Chris Van Hollen met Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. According to him, Garcia has been transferred from Mega-Jail Secot (Terrorism Detention Center) to a new prison.
