ACLU argues Trump not complying with deportation order
The ACLU asks Supreme Court to broaden a weekend stay blocking wartime deportations of detained Venezuelan migrants. Lawyers say the administration ignores the April 7 directive granting detainees real opportunity to contest deportations to El Salvador. They seek review on whether the Alien Enemies Act can be invoked while the U S is not at war with Tren de Aragua. The filing says government cannot be said to comply with the court order. The dispute highlights friction between the administration and judiciary over immigration policy.
