Supreme Court maintains block on Trump wartime law deportations

Repatriation flight with migrants deported from U.S. lands, in Maiquetia

Venezuelan migrants arrive at Simon Bolivar International Airport in Maiquetia, Venezuela, on April 23 after being deported from the United States.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday kept in place its block on President Donald Trump's deportations of Venezuelan migrants under a 1798 law historically used only in wartime, faulting his administration for seeking to remove them without adequate legal process. 

The justices, in a brief and unsigned opinion, granted a request by American Civil Liberties Union attorneys representing the migrants to maintain the halt on the removals for now. The court on April 19 had ordered a temporary stop to the administration's deportations of dozens of migrants being held at a detention center in Texas.
