The U.S. Supreme Court kept in place its block on President Donald Trump's deportations of Venezuelan migrants under a 1798 law historically used only in wartime. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/05/17/world/politics/us-supreme-court-trump-deportations/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #uscourts #supremecourt #immigration
A win for the democratic process!

The court has decided—per curiam opinion, that means they decided as a whole seven of them—that a decision of a district court and of the Fifth Circuit were wrong and that we have to stay the deportation, some of us call it the abduction, of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador."

"Late Friday afternoon, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump Administration could not justify the deportation of Venezuelan immigrants with the Alien Enemies Act."

The #SupremeCourt 's inexplicable decision to embrace social policy making and to tear up decades of #equality law denies the reality of #trans existence and doesn’t make anyone safer, cis or trans.
We’re already seeing the impact on day to day life in the trans community – a community that has been hung out to dry by a Labour government. So we want to make sure that the thousands of people whose lives have been upended are not silenced.

#SupremeCourt makes MAJOR RULING on #Trump operation, prevents Trump from continuing to fly undocumented people to foreign countries without proper #DueProcess
Philippa East has prepared a letter to demand the #EHRC engage with ALL relevant stakeholders in their consultation and Q&As.
It's to get this on record, cc MPs, to put pressure on & hold the EHRC to account.

#SCOTUS sets up how the litigation will proceed.
The #Trump admin is BARRED from deporting people held in WDTX under the #AlienEnemiesAct pending #SupremeCourt review. The #5thCircuit is ordered to rule not just on #DueProcess, but ALSO on the #underlying merits of the #AEA proclamation.
#SCOTUS maintains block on #Trump #deportations under wartime #law #AlienEnemiesAct
The US #SupremeCourt on Friday kept in place its block on Trump's deportations of #Venezuelan migrants under a 1798 law historically used only in wartime after their lawyers said the government was set to remove the men without #judicial review in #violation of a prior #CourtOrder by the justices.

Rossman: It can't be that #SCOTUS issued an order that's empty.
Rossman reads the #SupremeCourt order requiring release of #KilmarAbregoGarcia from custody & treatment of his case as if he hadn't been removed...
That itself implies some extra-territorial steps, he says.
Rossman now addresses the #Rubio declaration.
Simply saying “national security” is insufficient, he says.
Rossman: A life is in the balance. We have #DueProcess in the balance. And there's the question of the role of the #judiciary. In a speech last week, Justice Roberts said the judiciary is a #CoEqualBranch w/ power to strike down obviously unlawful acts of the #president or #congress.
Here we now have your honor’s order that went all the way to #SCOTUS. And the question is whether the govt has complied w/an order of the #SupremeCourt....that couldn't be more important.
Kevin Breuninger reveals that President Donald Trump is shifting back to domestic issues after his Middle East trip, targeting the Supreme Court, Republicans, and celebrities like Bruce Springsteen. He criticizes Springsteen and others for their remarks, while pushing for a tax cut bill despite facing resistance from the House Budget Committee. The article highlights Trump's struggle for party unity and the challenges ahead.

"Marco Rubio’s parents were Cuban.
Neither were U.S Citizens when Marco was born.
Under Donald Trump’s executive order, his Secretary of State would not have been born a citizen."

Forum shopping is hurting the United States, a majority of justices appeared to agree Thursday. But a majority also seemed to agree that the 14th Amendment doesn’t need reinterpreting. #immigration #birthright #SupremeCourt

"The Supreme Court today entertained absolutely nonsense arguments in the birthright citizenship cases about how district courts can’t issue the kind of injunctions they’ve issued for the past two centuries because it would make Trump sad."

"We can’t guarantee that the Court won’t eventually decide that some little-known ruling in a witchcraft trial in 1610 means that only people who have personally met a sitting president are citizens. You just can’t tell with this bunch.

"It’s anybody’s guess how the court will come down on that question. It seems the majority wants to have it both ways, reining in lower courts that are—across all political and ideological lines—battling Trump’s lawlessness, and somehow doing so without itself blessing that lawlessness as the administration would like to deploy it against American children of non-citizens."

As Mark Joseph Stern and Dahlia Lithwick note,
"What they spent two and a half hours debating, in painstaking detail, is whether nationwide or universal injunctions are the way to stop that from happening."
