#SupremeCourt July 3 allowed #Trump #regime to deport 8 men who have spent more than 1 month held under guard on American #military base on #Djibouti to #SouthSudan granting their request. The order allows the government to immediately send the men, who hail from countries around the world, to war-torn South Sudan. Neither the United States nor South Sudan has said what will happen to the men on their arrival. Justices #SoniaSotomayor and #KetanjiBrownJackson dissented. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a1153_2co3.pdf

He added that Justice #SoniaSotomayor had made the same point in her dissent from the ruling, which Justices #ElenaKagan & #KetanjiBrownJackson joined. “The district court’s remedial orders are not properly before this court because the government has not appealed them,” she wrote.
In Thursday’s ruling, the majority rejected that distinction, paused both sets of rulings & allowed the *#deportations* to #SouthSudan.

The court’s order was unsigned & provided no reasoning, which is typical of this #SCOTUS when ruling on emergency applications.
Justices #KetanjiBrownJackson & #SoniaSotomayor, dissented, saying the majority had not given enough consideration to “the devastating consequences of allowing the government to precipitously upend the lives & livelihoods of nearly half a million noncitizens while their legal claims are pending.”

#SupremeCourt Allows #Trump to Use 1798 Wartime Law to #Deport People
The nation's highest court backed Trump's use of the #AlienEnemiesAct to speed up #deportations
by Charisma Madarang, April 8, 2025
"The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a massive win on Monday, voting 5-4 to allow his administration to continue rapidly deporting alleged gang members using the Alien Enemies Act.
The law, passed in 1798, gives presidents the authority to remove foreign nationals over the age of 14 from countries where the United States is either engaged in a declared war or subject to “invasion or predatory incursion” by their country of origin. The act has been invoked three times in U.S. history, each time during wartime, and is meant to counter the actions of foreign governments and regimes, not alleged criminals, gangs, or non-state actors. The law was also used to justify Japanese internment during WWII, and now, the Trump administration is using it to justify its deportations.
In an unsigned opinion, the Supreme Court tossed a district court decision that had temporarily blocked President Trump’s attempt to continue using the 227-year-old law after he sent almost 300 Venezuelan migrants to a notorious prison in #ElSalvador, known for human rights abuses."All nine justices agreed, however, that anyone the administration is seeking to deport under the Alien Enemies Act must receive notice of deportation and be given the opportunity to challenge the removal through '#habeas petitions' — meaning that migrants have the right to have their detention or deportation reviewed by the federal court, but only for themselves and in the area where they are being detained.
"The court’s three liberal justices dissented from the ruling, while Justice #AmyConeyBarrett, who was appointed by Trump, partially dissented. Barrett joined Justice #SoniaSotomayor’s dissent calling the majority’s legal conclusion 'suspect' and questioning if habeas claims should be the only way to contest deportations under the act.
"'The Court’s legal conclusion is suspect,' wrote #Sotomayor. 'The Court intervenes anyway, granting the Government extraordinary relief and vacating the District Court’s order on that basis alone.'"

#SupremeCourt blocks order requiring #Trump administration to reinstate workers
By Mark Sherman, April 8, 2025
WASHINGTON (AP) — "The Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked an order for the Trump administration to return to work thousands of federal employees who were let go in mass firings aimed at dramatically downsizing the federal government.
"The justices acted in the administration’s emergency appeal of a ruling by a federal judge in California ordering that 16,000 probationary employees be reinstated while a lawsuit plays out because their firings didn’t follow federal law.
"The effect of the high court’s order will keep employees in six federal agencies on paid administrative leave for now. Justices #SoniaSotomayor and #KetanjiBrownJackson said they would have kept the judge’s order in place.
"It’s the third time in less than a week that the justices have sided with the administration in its fight against federal judges whose orders have slowed President Donald Trump’s agenda. The court also paused an order restoring grants for teacher training and lifted an order that froze deportations under an 18th century wartime law."
