Trump Asks Supreme Court to Rule on Alien Enemies Act of 1798

HeadlineMar 31, 2025

In immigration news, the Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a lower judge’s ruling that has blocked Trump from removing more immigrants from the United States after he invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. The Justice Department filed an emergency appeal on Friday claiming that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg had unconstitutionally intruded on the president’s national security powers by ordering the Trump administration to stop sending Venezuelan immigrants, accused without evidence of being gang members, to a supermax prison complex in El Salvador.
