The U.S. Supreme Court has ordered the Trump administration to suspend deportation of groups of gang members of the accused.
Civil Liberties Groups are suing the administration for the planned deportation of Venezuelans detained in North Texas under 18th century wartime laws.
On Saturday, the Supreme Court ordered the government not to remove detainees “until further orders of this court.”
Donald Trump sent accused Venezuelan gang members to the infamous megajails of El Salvador, calling the Alien Enemy Act of 1798, giving the president the authority to order the detention of indigenous people or citizens of the “enemy” nation and the detention and deportation of citizens and citizens without the usual process.
This law was used only three times before, all of which were used during the war.
It was last called when Japanese people were imprisoned without trial and thousands were sent to concentration camps.
Trump has accused Venezuelan gangster Tren de Aragua of “convicting, threatening and threatening invasions or predatory invasions” on US territory.
As of April 8, of the 261 Venezuelans deported to El Salvador, 137 have been removed under the alien enemy law, senior administrators told CBS News, the BBC’s US news partner.
The lower court temporarily blocked these deportations on March 15th.
The Supreme Court originally ruled on April 8 that Trump could use alien enemy laws to deport gang members, but must give the exile the opportunity to challenge the removal.
The lawsuit, which issued the order Saturday, said a Venezuelan detained in northern Texas, was given notice of the imminent deportation of English, despite only speaking Spanish.
The challenge by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) also said that men were not said to have the right to challenge a court decision.
“Without this court intervention, members of the proposed class could be left to life in El Salvador, and there is no real opportunity to challenge designation or removal,” the lawsuit reads.
Supreme Court Justice opposed Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito on Saturday.
