In a 5-4 vote, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that the Trump Administration is acting within its authority to deport members of the notorious Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) under the Aliens Enemies Act.

The Trump Administration had designated Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization and began deportations after a March 15th executive order. The SCOTUS ruling reverses the order of Chief District Judge James Boasberg.

While the court declined to rule on the challengers' contention that the Alien Enemies Act does not apply to them, it did state that the case must be heard in Texas, where the challengers are being held.

President Trump reacted to the ruling on his Truth Social Platform.

The 5-4 ruling is a big (Yuge, if you will) win for the Trump Administration. Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, Barrett, and Jackson dissented.
