However, legal analyst Mark Joseph Stern suggested on Saturday that this represents a major judicial challenge for the presidential authority, as it described it on the Bluesky social media platform as “a huge signal from the Supreme Court that it is finally ready to go to the toe with Trump to stop the deportation.”

Why do it matter
The American authorities are carrying out a continuous immigration campaign during the Trump era, which has pledged to launch the largest mass deportation in the country’s history. Thousands of people have been detained and deported since he took office, and the administration faces many lawsuits on this issue.
The president said that most of the arrests and deportation will target individuals with criminal records. However, in recent weeks, there have been multiple reports of people without criminal condemnation, while others with valid documents are being held for deportation.
with Republicans He holds a small majority at home and SenateIt can be said that the courts have become a major way to challenge the Trump administration policy.
Saturday’s ruling is especially important because it comes from a court of 6-3 governorate, including the judges appointed during the first period of Trump.
What do you know
According to Reuters, on Friday, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) submitted an urgent request to the Supreme Court after reports that some men had placed on buses and were about to deport.
A government lawyer said during the hearing that they were not aware of plans to deport men that day, but this may happen on Saturday.
Stern, a great writer covering the courts and law for Slate Magazine Which was reported by the Supreme Court and Federal Courts since 2013, describing the legal battle against Bluezki as “a great victory for migrants here and a great defeat of Trump’s illegal efforts to accelerate a delivery trip before the courts.”
Trump summoned AEA on March 15th, targeting Treen de Aragoa The members, a criminal group that was appointed as a terrorist organization, to deport Venezuelan men accused of membership in the group. This is the same law used to train Japanese, German and Italian citizens during World War II.
On April 7, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the Trump administration could use AEA to deport the alleged Tren de Aragua members, but only if the judicial review can be made.
The court determined that the notification “must be provided within a reasonable period of time and in some way they are allowed to actually search in the right place in the right place before this removal occurs.”
Earlier this month, the court ordered the Trump administration “Facilitate” return to Kilmar Abrago Garcia To the United States of El Salvador. The United States for Migration and Customs (IceAbro Garcia said last month because of a “administrative error.” White House press secretary Caroline Levitt He replied that Abyerigo Garcia “will never live in the United States of America again.”
Abro Garcia, who came to the United States illegally, was arrested in 2019 and was accused of being a member of the MS-13 gang, which has identified the Trump administration as a foreign terrorist organization. Abro Garcia denied that he was a member of the gang, but two judges, in separate rulings, concluded that, based on secret information provided to the court. He was protected from deportation to El Salvador because he said he would have been targeted by MS-13 competitors.
Abrojo Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and children, as he denied his family that he had any links with the gangs. Abrego Garcia has no criminal record in the United States, although his wife accused him of domestic violence and got a restricted order against him. Since then they have been reconciled.

What people say
Legal analyst Mark Joseph Sterin wrote on Blues on Saturday: “I think the majority that was raised [U.S. District Judge James] Boasberg’s restriction order really believes that Trump has been interrogating his warning of due legal procedures and stopping more AEA deportations until Scotos’s rule over their legitimacy. Instead, Trump tried to infiltrate migrants before the courts behave. Now I think Scotos is angry. “
He added: “It is unusual for the Supreme Court to issue a late night, and frankly, it is not true that Thomas and Alego noticed their opponents. It is also wonderful that Scott has rushed before ALEO was able to end his opposition. This is basically never happening!
In its ruling, the Supreme Court wrote: “The court has a request on behalf of a supposed category of detainees looking for a judicial order against their deportation under the law of foreign enemies. This issue is currently pending before the fifth circle.”
He added: “When action is taken by the Fifth Department, the public prosecutor is invited to submit a response to the request before this court as soon as possible. The government advises not to remove any member of the supposed category of detainees from the United States until another order from this court.”
What happens after that?
On Saturday, the suspended on Saturday ruled for deportation instead of banning it directly. This leaves open to the possibility that the deportation will go if the Trump administration provides more legal assurances that meet the court’s requirements for judicial review.
The response from the administration is likely to determine the following steps in this continuous legal battle between the executive and judicial supervision.
