Supreme Court Puts a Halt to Left’s Deportation Tactics
The Supreme Court just stepped in. It blocked the Trump administration’s plan to deport dozens of Venezuelan illegal aliens. Many of these individuals have been accused of violent crimes. The deportation was set under the historic Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Read more here.
An emergency appeal from the far-left ACLU sparked the ruling. The appeal was filed late at night. The ACLU claims this is a fight for fair treatment. Their case is now with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. They rushed in after hearing that buses were loaded with illegal aliens for removal.
While the Fifth Circuit was still mulling things over, the Supreme Court jumped in. They issued an unsigned order siding with the ACLU’s appeal. As a result, deportations at the Bluebonnet Detention Center in Texas have been temporarily stopped.
According to ACLU, “Plaintiffs learned that the government has begun giving notices of removal to class members, in English only, which do not say how much time individuals have to contest their removal or even how to do so… And officers last night told class members that they will be removed within 24 hours, which expires as early as this afternoon. Upon information and belief, individuals have already been loaded on to buses.”
The order didn’t decide on the application filed by the detainees’ attorneys. It simply put the whole matter on hold. Not everyone on the bench was happy. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito strongly dissented from the decision.
Looking at the official order, it states:
“There is before the Court an application on behalf of a putative class of detainees seeking an injunction against their removal under the Alien Enemies Act. The matter is currently pending before the Fifth Circuit. Upon action by the Fifth Circuit, the Solicitor General is invited to file a response to the application before this Court as soon as possible.
The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court. See 28 U. S. C. §1651(a). Justice Thomas and Justice Alito dissent from the Court’s order. Statement from Justice Alito to follow.”
In a blistering response, U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer fired back on behalf of the Trump administration. He made the ACLU’s move look both dangerous and unserious. In Sauer’s words:
Early this morning, this Court entered an order inviting the Solicitor General to file a response to the application as soon as possible upon action by the Fifth Circuit. 4/19/25 Order. The Court further directed the government “not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court.”
The Fifth Circuit has denied applicants’ motion as premature in a per curiam opinion. The court explained that if respondents were concerned that the government’s position on not removing applicants had changed, “they should have litigated these concerns before the district court in the first instance.”
Instead, applicants “gave the [district] court only 42 minutes to act—and did not give [the government] an opportunity to respond” before proceeding to the court of appeals. The court thus dismissed applicants’ appeal for lack of subjectmatter jurisdiction, “for substantially the reasons stated in Judge Ramirez’s concurrence.”
Key Points from Sauer’s Argument:
-
Premature and Improper: Sauer says the Supreme Court should not be the first to review a case that hasn’t been properly looked at by lower courts. He slammed the ACLU’s actions as “fatally premature.”
-
No Threat of Irreparable Harm: The government already agreed not to deport the specific Venezuelan petitioners until their habeas corpus petitions are resolved.
-
Flawed Class Action: Sauer slammed the ACLU’s attempt to certify a class of detainees, calling it “manifestly improper.” He noted that petitioners claimed they were not members of Tren de Aragua, making them unfit to represent others.
-
Due Process Fully Respected: He defended the administration’s process. Detainees had been given notice and time to file legal challenges. Deportations were paused for those who filed habeas petitions.
-
Legal Authority Still Intact: Even with the Alien Enemies Act blocked, the government still has full power under Title 8 of the U.S. Code to deport folks linked to foreign terrorist organizations.
The Trump administration isn’t staying silent. They released shocking images of Venezuelan nationals tied to the notorious Tren de Aragua gang. According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, citing a senior administration official, these men were slated for removal before the Supreme Court stepped in. Their records include child abuse, felony assault on police officers, drug trafficking, and weapons charges. These are serious crimes that left-wing legal groups have tried to ignore in their bid to block lawful expulsions.
