The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow the deportation of nearly 200 Venezuelan migrants currently held in Texas, most of whom are accused of being members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
The migrants are being detained under the Alien Enemies Act—a law from the 1790s originally meant for use during wartime. The government argues that the group poses a safety risk and should be removed quickly, and wants the high court to allow it to enforce the act to expedite their removal.
