It may be the biggest court win for President Donald Trump’s second administration thus far — and he managed it without one of his Supreme Court appointments.
On Monday evening, the high court ruled that Trump’s administration could continue to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged members of Venezuelan-based transnational gang Tren de Aragua via El Salvador, according to The Washington Post.
In the 5-4 ruling — with Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining the court’s liberals in voting against — the Supreme Court didn’t rule on the underlying merits of the use of the Alien Enemies Act.
