Trump administration asks Supreme Court to review El Salvador deportation flight case
Fox News
The Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court after a 2-1 D.C. Circuit ruling upheld a 14-day block on using the Alien Enemies Act, giving a judge time to weigh the case's merits.
The request for Supreme Court intervention comes shortly after the DC. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 on Wednesday to uphold a lower court's decision that temporarily blocked the administration's use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act law to immediately deport Venezuelan nationals. That decision paused the Trump administration's use of the law for a 14-day period to allow the judge time to review the merits of the case.
