Trump Administration Seeks Supreme Court Intervention in Venezuelan Deportation Case.

The Trump administration has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a temporary injunction preventing the swift deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members. This action stems from President Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, a legal justification challenged in court.

The Justice Department, in its filing, argues that the case raises a fundamental question of constitutional authority: whether the executive branch, or the judiciary, holds ultimate power in matters of national security. Citing the Constitution, the Department asserted that the President alone possesses this authority.

The request follows a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which upheld the initial temporary block. This legal battle is the latest in a series of judicial challenges to the administration’s policies, reportedly causing friction between President Trump and the federal court system. The Supreme Court’s decision will have significant implications for both immigration policy and the balance of power between the executive and judicial branches.
