US Supreme Court blocks the Trump administration’s use of Alien Enemies Act

The United States Supreme Court ruled that migrants seeking deportation cannot be halted under an outdated 18th-century law, reaffirming their entitlement to due process before removal. The decision marks a rare win for President Trump's administration, which has used the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to swiftly deport undocumented immigrants, sparking legal and political debate. The majority of justices agreed with the ruling, but two conservative dissents highlighted concerns about the statute's application during peacetime. The case underscores tensions over whether outdated laws can be used to target modern issues like undocumented migration.
