In immigration news, a U.S. federal appeals court has blocked President Trump from rapidly deporting Venezuelans suspected of being gang members under the 18th-century wartime Alien Enemies Act. In a 2-1 ruling, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted a preliminary injunction “to prevent removal because we find no invasion or predatory incursion” had occurred. The 5th Circuit is considered to be one of the most conservative appeals courts in the country. The case is expected to head to the Supreme Court. We’ll have more on this story later in the broadcast.
