The Trump administration can resume deportation of certain immigrants, a divided Supreme Court said on Monday in a partial victory for President Donald Trump’s hardline approach to immigration.
The court did not rule on whether Trump can use the Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants it says are members of a Venezuelan crime gang. And the majority said the immigrants should get a chance to contest their deportation.
But the ruling says the immigrants brought their challenge - which was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia - in the wrong court.
"The detainees are confined in Texas, so venue is improper in the District of Columbia," the majority wrote in an unsigned opinion that lifted a judge’s order temporarily blocking deportations without hearings. The court has a 6-3 conservative majority. The three liberal justices, joined in part by conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett, dissented.
