Trump Administration Seeks High Court Review of Deportation Flight Ban Amid Controversy Over Law
The Trump administration has requested the Supreme Court's review of a restraining order blocking the deportation of Venezuelans under an 18th-century immigration law.
The Trump administration has asked the US Supreme Court to review a restraining order that temporarily blocks its deportation flight case involving El Salvador, citing an 18th century wartime immigration law that has been used as a loophole in asylum policies, while Venezuelan nationals are also being targeted under the same rule. The ruling was made by a federal appeals court last month, which blocked the government's plan to use the law to swiftly deport migrants to El Salvador without considering their asylum claims. The administration is seeking review of this decision and hopes to get it overturned. The case highlights ongoing tensions over immigration policies and deportation practices under the Trump presidency.
