The Trump administration is seeking the Supreme Court to “dissolve” its new ruling pausing deportation flights of Venezuelans to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act.
The Supreme Court made its ruling on Saturday in response to an emergency motion by the American Civil Liberties Union, representing 50 Venezuelan men about to be deported from a facility in Anson, Texas. The ACLU filed its emergency motion in three courts: the Northern District of Texas, which rejected the motion; the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, in New Orleans; and the Supreme Court.
Solicitor General D. John Sauer said the Supreme Court must allow the case to go through the lower courts before issuing a ruling of its own. He said the Supreme Court has “improperly skipped over the lower courts.” He also criticized the ACLU, because they “rushed to an appears court and the Supreme Court without giving lower courts time to consider the case.”
Sauer rejected the ACLU’s claim that the deportees had not been given “adequate” warning of their deportation.
The ACLU has been a staunch supporter of illegal immigrants, pushing cases to ensure their right to enter and remain in the US. The ACLU backed President Biden’s termination of the Remain in Mexico policy, which they called “cruel, depraved and illegal.” The Trump-era policy mandated that asylum seekers remain in Mexico while their cases were processed.
The Remain in Mexico policy has since been reimplemented by President Trump, along with a rash of other anti-immigration measures.
