Supreme Court rules that Trump administration violated due process rights of Venezuelan migrants

The Supreme Court issued an emphatic and unusual decision declaring that the Trump administration violated the due process rights of Venezuelan migrants in its attempt to deport them to a Salvadoran prison.

The court also extended an injunction to stop the government from deporting an entire class of migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 .

Ruben Navarrette : Court 's ruling protects all migrants who, as a class, face deportation under Alien Enemies Act .

He says the majority of the court bristles with irritation that the lower courts didn't quickly address the case.

The Justice Department , it noted, had promised not to deport the handful of named plaintiffs, but it did not promise to refrain from deporting anyone else.
