Former President Donald Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow his administration to resume deportations of Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act, a wartime-era law.
This move comes after a federal appeals court blocked the policy, citing concerns over due process. Civil rights groups, including the ACLU and Democracy Forward, argue that using the law in this way is unconstitutional. The case could have major implications for immigration policy and executive power.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to make political moves, including swearing in his former lawyer Alina Habba as U.S. attorney for New Jersey.

About time someone had the guts to use every tool available to protect the country—national security should come before political correctness.
This is exactly the kind of overreach that makes me nervous—using wartime laws to sidestep due process is a dangerous precedent, no matter who's in charge. The government already has too much power, and expanding executive authority like this only chips away at individual rights. We need less centralized control, not more.
